So we waved our hands
as we marched along
And the people smiled
as we sang our song
And the world was big
as they listened to the band
And the banner man
held the banner high
He was ten foot tall
and he touched the sky
And I wish that I
could be a banner man
And the drums went boom
as the cornets played
And the tuba
tuba'd all the way
And the kids and the dogs
were laughing as they ran...
And the banner man
held the banner high
With a hallelujah in his eye
And I wish that I could
be a banner man
Glory, glory, glory
Listen to the band
Sing that same old story
Ain't it something grand
To be good as you can
Like the banner man
So we reached the square
on the top of the hill
And the music stopped
and we stood quite still
And the people were saved
and the people said Amen!
And we all got up
and we formed a queue
And the drums went bang
and the trumpets 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 something grand
To be as good as you can
Like the banner man
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Listen to the band
Sing that same old story
Ain't it something grand

Listen to the band
