The Band

The drummer, the trumpet, the guitar man
The bass sax, the tenor, they all knew when
We started years ago in Rotterdam with the band
We knew that was in our lives

You would come along to see the happy show
You would come to see how if the odds we row
We shake you, we make you feel alright
We make you sing and shout for the rest of the night

For the bass man, the organ and most of all
The singer (That's me) life is a ball
Watching for a while and you will see that his face
Will be laughing all the time

Couldn't stand to see you in the corner alone
I would regret you being sad all on your own
Shakes you, it makes you feel alright
We make you sing and shout for the rest of the night

Open your eyes, we're trying to reach you all
We do our best to reach you
Open your ears, we're trying to hear the call
