Oh the piccolo plays and the banjo plunks and the bass drum goes [two drum beats]
Oh the piccolo plays and the banjo plunks and the bass drum goes [two drum beats]

I've got a little brass band that plays inside my heart
I've got a little brass band that plays inside my heart
Each time I look at you that crazy band'll start

That crazy little brass band starts jumping when we meet
That crazy little brass band starts thumping when we meet
And when I hold your hand they really feel the beat
And then the piccolo plays and the banjo plunks and the bass drum goes [two drum beats]
Oh the piccolo plays and the banjo plunks and the bass drum goes [two drum beats]

I've got a little brass band that rocks each time we kiss
I've got a little brass band that rolls each time we kiss
Come on and be my love and then you'll never miss
The way the piccolo plays and the banjo plunks and the bass drum goes [two drum beats]
Oh the piccolo plays and the banjo plunks and the bass drum
