Marching Band (Ramapo) – Parody to "Piano Man" by Billy Joel
It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday
As we pick up a four leaf clover
We're all wishing to march Riverdance again
But the season is already over.
Coach Gold can you play us some Riverdance
We're not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and we knew it complete (kind of)
When we wore our marching band clothes.
Chorus:
Play us a song you're the marching band
Play Riverdance tonight
We're all in the mood for a halftime show
C'mon Ramapo show all your might!
Sloez-dog the director is a friend of ours,
She gets us our reeds for cheap
She's quick with a joke when your instruments broke
And she lets you cut class to sleep
Sue says "Laura I believe this is killing me"
As they slowly begin to dance
I'm sure I could be the drum major
If my big Finnish ghetto booty (or just ass) would fit in those guard pants!
(Chorus)
Tom D is a tenor saxophonist
He had Bognar for biology
He, Paul, and Steve keep yelling out "seven!"
While practicing drill gleefully.
And the low brass practices Chameleon
While the low saxes play their songs
Erica yells "Don't play in the stands!"
Then she plays though she knows it is wrong.
(Chorus)
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
Since they know we are going to win
We know its not the band they've been coming to see
'Cause at halftime the stands are empty
And as we score another touchdown
The poms give the team a cheer
Its 60 to 0 by the end of the game
And we've all memorized Notre Dame!
(Chorus)
Opt. Verse:
Collin, a trumpet player, thinks he's the band
He's the loudest one out on the sod
The volume he plays at seems to increase
Since in his opinion he's God.
Andy the drum instructor, is a little Keebler elf
He's short and he has big ears
His assistant Charlie is the marching instructor
And his calf raises cause pain that's severe.
