Let the drums roll out Let the trumpet call While the people shout "Strike up the band" Hear the cymbals ring Callin' one and all To the martial swing, Strike up the band There is work to be done, to be done There's a war to be won, to be won Come, you son of a son of a gun, Take your stand Fall in line, yea a bow Come along, let's go Hey, leader, strike up the band! There is work to be done, to be done There's a war to be won, to be won Come, you son of a son of a gun, Take your stand Fall in line, yea a bow Come on, let's go Hey, Leader, strike up Hey, Leader, strike up Hey, Leader, strike up the band
