[Intro: horn stabs, drum fill, falsetto funk male lead shouting] One more! Hey! [Verse 1: falsetto funk lead, chest voice, punchy] We played the first dance and the second and the cake We played the cousin's toast that took an hour to make The father of the bride said the check is in the car Then he drove off with the car, now that's a little far [Pre-Chorus: lead, rising] So we locked the doors We plugged it back in Nobody leaves Till the money walks in [Chorus: falsetto funk lead, towering, horns hitting] Pay the band, pay the band Put the money in my hand Every song that we play costs more Than the one before, pay the band [Verse 2: lead, gritty chest voice] Hour two, the uncles going sideways on the floor The DJ that you booked is hiding by the back door Aunt Linda found a fifty in a purse she never used Now she's dancing in her socks because her feet are bruised [Pre-Chorus: lead, rising] Groom's got a twenty Best man's got ten Flower girl's got a dollar Hit it again [Chorus: falsetto funk lead, towering, horns hitting] Pay the band, pay the band Put the money in my hand Every song that we play costs more Than the one before, pay the band [Bridge: stop-time, bass and voice only] Bass says pay Drums say pay Horns say pay Hold it! [Belted: falsetto lead holds a long high note] [Full Band Hits] [Final Chorus: lead, gang shouts answering] Pay the band (pay the band!) Put the money in my hand (in my hand!) Now you're throwing it at us like rain And we play it again, pay the band
