As a boy I had a gig with a travelin' show |
|
Way back in '63 |
|
We did a little pickin' for the soldier boys |
|
Of General Bobby LeeBut when we got to Pennsylvania, |
|
I knew there'd be a change |
|
We caught up with some boys from Georgia |
|
And I heard one of them sayDon't tell the band |
|
The devil's on his way |
|
Don't tell the band |
|
Just let the music playLater on I had a job pouring gin and rum |
|
On the grand queen of the sea |
|
We set out on our first transatlantic voyage |
|
Headed for New York CityBut when I felt that lady shudder |
|
I knew there'd be a change |
|
I saw the captain grab the first mate |
|
And I thought I heard him sayDon't tell the band |
|
The devil's on his way |
|
Don't tell the band |
|
Just let the music play |
|
Just let the music playIn the Restaurant at the End of the Universe |
|
In the year 3010 |
|
I was listenin' to the Good Old Interstellar Boys |
|
Playin' "Let It Be" againBut when I heard the trumpet sounding |
|
I knew there'd be a change |
|
A prophet wearin' robes appeared before us |
|
And he looked at me and saidDon't tell the band |
|
The devil's on his way |
|
Don't tell the band |
|
Just let the music playDon't tell the band |
|
The devil's on his way |
|
Don't tell the band |
|
Just let the music play |
|
Just let the music play |
|
Just let the music play |
