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.
