LYRICS

(band singing back-up in brackets)

You could play the drums! (Join us!)
You could play guitar! (Join us!)
You could play piano! (Join us!)
Or be a singing star! (Join us!)
Ahhhhhhh! (Ahhhhh!)
(Camera zooms in on lead singer's open throat until the image fills the screen)

You can join us
You can play in this band!
You can join us
You can lend us a hand!
We welcome you
To help us sing this song
We would be friends, I know
We could get along
Making music!

You could play the drums! (Join us!)
You could play guitar! (Join us!)

Or be a singing star! (Join us!)
Ahhhhhhh! (Ahhhhh!)
(Camera zooms in as before)

You can join us
You can play in this band!
You can join us
You can lend us a hand!
We welcome you
To help us sing this song
We would be friends, I know
We could get along
Making music!

Don't be shy! (Come join us!)
Give it a try! (Come join us!)
We'll make a place for you! (Come join us!)
Plenty of space for you! (Come join us!)

(Repeat last verse)
