[Verse 1] Someone told you to write us a song not too loud not too heavy not too long One to keep us all right in a line while we're walking, no marching yea in time Make it easy enough for all of us to sing when singing don't come very easily [spoken] "especially to me" [Sung] With a catchy chorus catching for us Lots of curb appeal Let em cheer when they hear The song you wrote that sealed the deal [Spoken] "Here we go" [Chorus] [Sung] We're a member of the United States marching band With a writer who provided us a song that can Keep us in the beat While we're marching down your street Cheer real loud, make us proud to be the best that we can be we're a member of the United States marching band we're great at marching singing could be better had we practiced more in tune 'stead our feet gave us the groove to March in time all in a line, clap if you're so inclined we're a member of the United States Marching Band Nothing makes us laugh except this feather in our caps our faces we keep still yea I'm sure you know the drill till you feel the drums that thrill your heart to beat along with timely skill [Verse 2] We could March all day to an audience of one 'stead we can't even count how many showed up for the fun 76 Trombones may have led the big parade But a United States Marching Band is leading here today [Chorus 2] we're a member of a United States marching band Hey thanks for that song, they liked it better than the jugglers or the Shriners even that dancing "Whine a my mer" A salute is due it's true because of you our March was true [Outro] Someone told you to write us a song Not too loud not to heavy not too long [Spoken] "About Face, 1..2..3..4" [Sung] We're a member of the United States Marching bannnnnd.. [End Song]
