lyrics

My Band
Graeme Sacks & Erika Strydom

Chorus
How many people are in my band?
How many can you count?
All the different instruments in my band
Playing in a group to make a beautiful sound

The drums are thumping, they’re setting a groove
The hi-hat’s swinging and it’s making us move
And now a catchy rhythm on the big tom-tom
......the drums are the heartbeat of our song

Chorus

The bass is driving that shuffle beat
It makes you wanna jump right out of your seat
It walks on the beat to make the music flow
..... The notes are deep and very low

(Bass guitar solo)
"Playing in a group to make a beautiful sound"

The rhythm guitar is chugging along
Chug, chug, chug, chugging to our song
That laid-back rhythm makes me feel so good
..... it has six strings and it’s made out of wood.
(Guitar solo)

The saxophone lets out a wail
It’s pretty notes could never fail
To fly above the band, sweeping high & low
..... Wow that cat can really blow!
(Saxophone solo)

The singer stands in front of the band
The microphone is in her hand
She scats a soulful melody
..... Here we go come sing with me!

Chorus X2.... “five instruments in my band!"
