One night while playing in the band
a girl came up;
she said: "You're grand."
So I replied in words low down,
"Now, this is how the music goes 'round:"

I blow through here;
the music goes 'round and around.
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho
and it comes up here.
I push the first valve down.
The music goes down and around,
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho,
And it comes out here.
I push the middle valve down
The music goes down
around below, below, below,
deedle dee ho ho ho
Listen to the notes come out.
I push the other valve down
The music goes 'round and around
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho
and it comes out here.

I blow through here;
the music goes 'round and around.
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho
and it comes up here.
I push the first valve down.
The music goes down and around,
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho,
And it comes out here.
I push the middle valve down
The music goes down
around below, below, below,
deedle dee ho ho ho
Listen to the notes come out.
I push the other valve down
The music goes 'round and around
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho
and it comes out here.

She smiled at me and said:
"You're fine,"
I answered: "Miss, the pleasure's mine."
But when she asked:
"What's that thing for?"
I thought I'd better show her once more.

I blow through here;
the music goes 'round and around.
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho
and it comes up here.
I push the first valve down.
The music goes down and around,
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho,
And it comes out here.
I push the middle valve down
The music goes down
around below, below, below,
deedle dee ho ho ho
Listen to the notes come out.
I push the other valve down
The music goes 'round and around
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho
and it comes out here.

I blow through here;
the music goes 'round and around.
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho
and it comes up here.
I push the first valve down.
The music goes down and around,
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho,
And it comes out here.
I push the middle valve down
The music goes down
around below, below, below,
deedle dee ho ho ho
Listen to the notes come out.
I push the other valve down
The music goes 'round and around
Whoa ho ho ho ho ho
and it comes out here.
