[Intro]
(On four….)
And, a 1
And, a 2
And, a (1,2,3)
For… the music to play
[Verse 1]
If you want to begin
You know (start the show)
Or if you’re here…
To hear it again
[Chorus]
Let’s get the music to play
(Strike up the band)
We’ll sing and dance away
(On the command)
[Bridge]
(On four….)
And, a 1
And, a 2
And, a (1,2,3)
For… the music to play
(The livelong day)
[Verse 2]
Getting so excited…
You know (for the show)
We’re right here…
Ready to hear
[Chorus]
So, for the music to play
(Strike up the band)
We’ll sing and dance all day
(On the command)
[Outro]
(On four….)
And, a 1
And, a 2
And, a (1,2,3)
For… the music to play
(The livelong day)
Strike up the band
(On our command)
Strike up the band
ABOUT THE SONG
“Strike up the band” means to begin playing music and can also be used more broadly to mean to start something with enthusiasm. In a literal sense, it is an instruction to a band to start playing, but it is also used metaphorically. In this case, it is both.
