The Band Played On

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, now what are we gonna do?

What's the matter, Dave?

What's the matter?
There's been a big mix up and we're left
without a band for tonight's performance

Gee, don't worry, Dave!

Don't worry?

Sure, Alvin's got a band!

Alvin's got a what?! Alvin did you get a band?!

Yes, Dave, I did!

Why didn't ya tell me? Who'd ya get?
What about the music? How are we go-

Easy, Dave, relax! We're all set! I took care of everything!

Alvin, what is the band doing on
stage? They belong down there in the pit

The Chipmunks:
Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde

And the band played on

The Chipmunks:
He'd glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored

And the band played on

The Chipmunks:
His brain was so loaded it nearly exploded
The poor girl would shake with alarm
He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curls

And the band played on

The Chipmunks:
Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde
And the band played on, cha-cha
He'd glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored
And the band played on, cha-cha-cha

His brain was so loaded it nearly exploded
The poor girl would shake with alarm

Poor girl.

The Chipmunks:
He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curls
And the band played on

Casey would march with a strawberry band
And the blonde played on
He'd rock 'cross the floor and right out of the door
And the band played on

They danced to a combo, that played a great mambo
And soon they were doing a cha

Cha-cha

The Chipmunks:
Then had a discussion on way out percussion

Alvin, wait a minete!
I'm supposed to sing here!

The Chipmunks:
And the band played on

Alvin!

Okay!
