At two o'clock they had a date
Preparation for performance at eight
Nineteen instruments
Polished and bright
Unfortunately their final
concert is tonight
The bra**band dressed
in blue and white
So little audience
around the bandstand
The conductor lifts up his hand
Trumpets, tubas,
trombones resound
But grow fader the sloser
A bigger band comes
which musicians play so loud and pure
Tunes of trumpets, tubas,
trombones resound
But grow fader the closer
A bigger band comes
which musicians play so loud and so pure
Nineteen man packed up their instruments
