Ella Fitzgerald - Alexanders Ragtime Band Live Lyrics

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
Theres 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, lets go
Hey, leader, strike up the band!

<instrumental break>

There is work to be done, to be done
Theres 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, lets go
Hey, leader, strike up
Hey, leader, strike up
Hey, leader, strike up the band
