Strike Up the Band Ella Fitzgerald

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!

Instrumental break

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
