[jim]
we fought in 1917
rum*ta*ta tum*tum*tum
and drove the tyrant from the scene
rum*ta*ta tum*tum*tum

we’re in a bigger, better war
for your patriotic pastime
we don’t know what we’re fighting for
but we didn’t know the last time

so load the cannon, draw the blade
rum*ta*ta tum*tum*tum
come on and join the big parade
rum*ta*ta tum*tum
rum*ta*ta tum*tum
rum*ta*ta tum*tum*tum

[jim & ensemble]
let the drums roll out (boom*boom*boom)
let the trumpet call (ta*ta*ra*ta*ta*ta*ta)
while the people shout (hooray!)
“strike up the band”

hear the cymbals ring (tszing*tszing*tszing)
calling one and all (ta*ta*ra*ta*ta*ta*ta)
to the martial swing (left, right)
strike up the band
[jim]
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 bo
come along, let’s go
hey, leader, strike up the band!

[ensemble]
let the drums roll out
let the trumpets call
while the people shout
“strike up the band”

hear the cymbals ring
calling one and all
to the martial swing
strike up the band

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
with our flag unfurled
we can l!ck the world
hey, leader, strike up the band!

[dance break.]

let the drums roll out
let the trumpets call
while the people shout
“strike up the band”

hear the cymbals ring
calling 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 bo
come along, let’s go
hey, leader, strike up the band!
