《Seventy-Six Trombones》歌词

[00:01:12] Seventy six trombones led the big parade

[00:01:16] With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand.

[00:01:20] They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuosos,

[00:01:24] The cream of ev'ry famous band.

[00:01:27] Seventy six trombones caught the morning sun,

[00:01:31] With a hundred and ten cornets right behind.

[00:01:35] There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds,

[00:01:39] There were horns of ev'ry shape and kind.

[00:01:42] There were copper bottom tympani in horse platoons,

[00:01:47] Thundering, thundering, all along the way.

[00:01:50] Double bell euphoniums and big bassoons,

[00:01:54] Each bassoon having his big fat say.

[00:01:57] There were fifty mounted cannon in the battery,

[00:02:02] Thundering, thundering, louder than before.

[00:02:05] Clarinets of eve'ry size and trumpeters who'd improvise

[00:02:09] A full octave higher than the score.

[00:02:27] Seventy six trombones led the big parade,

[00:02:29] When the order to march rang out loud and clear.

[00:02:30] Starting off with a big bang bong on a Chinese gong,

[00:02:32] By a big bang bonger at the rear.

[00:02:34] Seventy six trombones hit the counter point,

[00:02:35] While a hundred and ten cornets played the air.

[00:02:37] Then I modestly took my place as the one and only bass,

[00:03:00] And I oompahed up and down the square.
