Seventy-six trombones led the big parade
With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand--
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuos-os;
the cream of every famous band.
Seventy six trombones caught the morning sun
With a hundred and ten cornets right behind
There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds,
And horns of every shape and kind!
There were copper bottom tym-pan-i in horse platoons
Thundering, thundering, all along the way
Double bell euphon -i -ums
and big bassoons
Each bassoon-- having his big fat say.
There were fifty mounted cannon in the bat -tery
Thundering, thundering, louder than before
Clarinets of every size
and trumpeters who'd improvise
A full octave higher than the score!
Seventy six trombones hit the counter point
While a hundred and ten cornets played the air
To the rhythm of 'Harch Harch Harch!'
All the kids began to march
And they're marching still, right today!
