SO, WE WAVED OUR HANDS
AS WE MARCHED ALONG
AND THE PEOPLE SMILED
AS WE SANG OUR SONG
AND THE WORLD WAS SAVED
AS THEY LISTENED TO THE BAND
AND THE BANNER MAN
HELD THE BANNER HIGH
HE WAS TEN FEET TALL
AND HE TOUCHED THE SKY
I WISH THAT I COULD BE
A BANNER MAN
AND THE DRUMS WENT BOOM
AND THE CORNETS PLAY
AND THE TUBA
OOM-PAH ALL THE WAY
AND THE KIDS AND THE DOGS
WERE LAUGHIN' AS THEY RAN...
AND THE BANNER MAN
HELD THE BANNER HIGH
WITH AN ALLELUJAH IN HIS EYE
I WISH THAT I COULD BE
A BANNER MAN
GLORY, GLORY, GLORY
LISTEN TO THE BAND
SING THAT SAME OLD STORY
AIN'T IT SOMETHIN' GRAND
TO BE GOOD AS YOU CAN
LIKE THE BANNER MAN
SO, WE REACHED THE SQUARE
AT THE TOP OF THE HILL
AND THE MUSIC STOPPED
AND WE STOOD QUITE STILL
AND A FEW WERE SAVED
AND THE PEOPLE SAID AMEN
THEN WE ALL GOT UP
AND WE FORMED A QUEUE
AND THE DRUMS WENT BANG
AND THE CORNETS BLEW
AND WE MARCHED RIGHT DOWN
INTO THE TOWN AGAIN
GLORY, GLORY, GLORY
LISTEN TO THE BAND
SING THAT SAME OLD STORY
AIN'T IT SOMETHIN' GRAND
TO BE GOOD AS YOU CAN
LIKE THE BANNER MAN
