Band! Band! Band! 1910

Ev'rybody likes music,
they've got nothing on me,
I could listen for ever
To a sweet melody.
Lots of people hate ragtime,
I just think it's divine,
but the music that I like the best
it's when the soldiers
march in line.

When I hear a military band,
there is something
I can't understand,
there is something
makes me feel so grand,
wish I had a musket in my hand.
Ev'rytime I hear the Dixie strain,
seems to me as if I'll go insane
I think I have music on the brain,
and it's Band! Band! Band!

When I hear a military band,
there is something
I can't understand,
there is something
makes me feel so grand,
wish I had a musket in my hand.
Ev'rytime I hear the Dixie strain,
seems to me as if I'll go insane
I think I have music on the brain,
and it's Band! Band! Band!

I don't know just the reason
I guess nobody knows,
when I hear music playing,
start to wiggle my toes,
my feet just start a dancing,
I can not make them stop,
I'm just shaking from my head to feet,
until at last I have to drop.

When I hear a military band,
there is something
I can't understand,
there is something
makes me feel so grand,
wish I had a musket in my hand.
Ev'rytime I hear the Dixie strain,
seems to me as if I'll go insane
I think I have music on the brain,
and it's Band! Band! Band!

When I hear a military band,
there is something
I can't understand,
there is something
makes me feel so grand,
wish I had a musket in my hand.
Ev'rytime I hear the Dixie strain,
seems to me as if I'll go insane
I think I have music on the brain,
and it's Band! Band! Band!
