A Band Parody By Artemis J. Halk
Based off of the song: "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast

chair as the band program proudly presents - your

Slip your neck-strap 'round your neck, cherie
And we provide the rest!
Jazz, maybe blues,

Beethoven
Mozart and Funk with
Blues and jazz just for you!
We'll prepare and perform with flair
An orchestra cabaret!
You're alone,
And you're scared
But the performance's all prepared
No one's gloomy or complaining
While the trumpets entertaining
We tell jokes,
I do tricks,
With my fellow clarinets!
Tubas:
And it's all in perfect taste,
That you can bet!

You've won your own free pass

BD:
If you're stressed,
It's fine music we suggest!

BD:
Life is so unnerving
For a band nerd who's not playing
He's not whole without a soul to play to!
Ah, those good old days when we were good,
Suddenly those good old days are gone
Ten weeks we've been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills
Most days we just lay around the band room,
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy!
First Chair Flute:
Join our band!
Join our band!
Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed!
Reed's been opened and thank the Lord
I've had the music freshly printed!
With jazz,
She'll want funk
And my dear that's fine with me!
While the saxes do their soft squeaks
I'll be trilling, I'll be blowing,
I'll get us warmed up,
Piping hot!
Heaven's sakes! Is that a sharp?
Fix it up! We want the band nerd impressed!
We've got a lot to do
Is it one song or two
For you, our nerd?
All: Join our band!
First Flute: Join our band!
All:
Join our band!
Join our band!
Our command is your request
It's ten weeks since we had anybody here
And we're obsessed
With your enjoyment,
With your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please!
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us perform for you,
We'll keep going!
Song by song
One by one
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off as you leave!
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's play it up!
Join our band!
Join our band!
Join our band!
Please, join our band!
