Strike Up the Band Songtext
von 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, yeah, fall
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, yeah, fall
Come along, let's go
Hey, leader, strike up
Hey, leader, strike up
Hey, leader, strike up the band
