Strike Up the Band (1959 Stereo Version)

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 bandThere 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 standFall 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 standFall in line, yea a bow

Come on, let's go

Hey, leader, strike up

Hey, leader, strike up

Hey, leader, strike up the band
