The Band Warp



(to the tune of "The Time Warp")



It's confusing, music is flying

Members take the field

But listen closely

For a little while longer

The drum majors are in control



I remember doing the Band Warp

Playing those moments when

The flags would hit me

And the directors would be calling

Let's run the last set again!

Let's run the last set again!



It's just a glide-step to the left...

And then a gateswing to the right...

You get in parade rest...

And hold your horn real tight...

But it's the drummers' cadence...

That really drives you insane...

Let's run the last set again!

Let's run the last set again!



The heat has siezed us!

Oh, directors, free us!

Then you won't see us

No, not til tomorrow

We're at attention

With musical intentions

High up, judges see all



If a guard should slip

The directors will all flip!

And they'll make us do it all again



The tubas weigh a ton!

They wish they're under sedation!

Let's run the last set again!

Let's run the last set again!



Well I was marching down the field

Just playing, I think

When a saxophone gave out an evil squeak

That shook me up, the section leader, too

And this guy was our soloist, too!

The directors yelled and I saw him cringe

This close to contest, he'd better practice again!

Let's run the last set again!

Let's run the last set again!



It's just an glide-step to the left...

And then a gateswing to the right...

You get in parade rest...

And hold your horn real tight...

But it's the drummers' cadence...

That really drives you insane...

Let's run the last set again!

Let's run the last set again!
