Strike Up the Band! Victor Arden-Phil Ohman and Their Orchestra

Let the drums roll out (Rum bum bum bum)
Let the trumpet call
While the people shout (Hooray!)
"Strike up the band" (Da-da, d-da, da-da)

Hear the cymbals ring
Calling one and all
To the martial swing, that's right
Strike up the band, here comes 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, bow (Rum bum bum bum)
Come along, let's go (Hooray!)
Hey, leader, strike up the band

(Hooray!)

Yankee doo, doodle-oo, doodle-oo
We'll come through, doodle-oo, doodle-oo
For the red, white and blue, doodle-oo
Lend a hand
