Lyrics

THE SOUND OF A BAND TUNING UP

WHEN THE PIANO SOUNDS HIS "A"
AND THE OTHERS START TO PLAY,
IT JUST MELTS MY HEART AWAY.

(REFRAIN)
THE SOUND OF A BAND TUNING UP
IS THE MOST THRILLING SOUND THAT I KNOW.
THE SOUND OF A BAND TUNING UP
ALWAYS GETS ME IN THE KIND OF GLOW
THAT MAKES ME WANT TO LOVE THE SHOW.
THAT WONDERFUL EAR-SPLITTING ROAR
SETS ATINGLE EVERY SINGLE NERVE DOWN TO MY VERY CORE.
AND SOMETIMES, I THINK IT MIGHT BE A THRILL
IF THEY DIDN?T PUT A SHOW ON THE BILL.
THEN I COULD JUST SIT AND REALLY GET MY FILL
OF THE SOUND OF A BAND TUNING UP,
THE GORGEOUS SOUND OF AQ BAND TUNING UP.

(VERSE 1)
LA DA DA DA...THE VIOLINS SING.
CLANG, CLANG, CLANG...THE BIG CYMBALS RING.
EH EH EH EH EH....THE BASS FIDDLE SNORE.
GIVE ME MORE. GIVE ME MORE.
GIVE ME ONE MORE ENCORE.

AHHHH, AHHH, AHHH....THE TROMBONES ARE MAD.
EE DEE DEE DEE DEE...THE OBOE?S SO SAD.
DOODLE OODLE OO, DOODLE OODLE OO...THE PICCOLOS SOAR
OH I COULDN?T LIKE IT BETTER IF PUCCINI WROTE THE SCORE.

(REFRAIN)


(VERSE 2)
DOO WAH, DOO WAH, DOO WAH...THE FRENCH HORN IS SOUR.
RA TA TA, TA TA TA, TAH...THAT TRUMPET?S GOT POWER.
OO OO OO OO OOOO....THE CELLO?S LIKE CREAM.
IT?S A DREAM. IT?S A DREAM.
IT?S A BEAUTIFUL DREAM.

GLEE DEE DEE DEE DEEEE...THE SAXES ARE SWEET.
BUM CHICK, BUM CHICK, BUMMM....THE DRUMS KEEP THE BEAT.
TO YOU IT MAY BE NOISE BUT IT?S MY LULLABY
AND I HOPE I HEAR THE ANGELS TUNING UP THE DAY I DIE.
