Please hold my instrument,
I need a water break
And I'll grab the metronome,
And some more squirt guns.

Just don't forget to keep toes up when you march and
Don't forget to watch the drum major
And ignore the metronome.

Isn't it just really strange
When you weren't watching the Drum Major's hand
And yet still get to the right place in the game
It's something I'll never understand.

Don't depend on the trumpets in front of you cause
You don't know if they even knows where to going.
And I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared
To play at halftime.
Book of forgotten tunes,
Some simple melodiess
Stadium's an ugly place,
But band's so beautiful to me

I think about the times
I hid first trumpet's silver horn,
The entire band was laughing,
Man was he forlorn.

Skipped my practice, to listen to choir play,
And it's no wonder the director still hates me this day.
I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared
To play at halftime.
Book of forgotten tunes,
Some simple melodies
Stadium's an ugly place,
But band's so beautiful
