Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Original Broadway Cast Of School Of Rock - You're In The Band (From "School Of Rock")

Take a hold of your axe and try to pluck out this riff Let your shoulders relax, you don't wanna be so stiff Keep on going don't stop, take it over the top Make each note really pop, squeeze out every last drop Give it one final whop! And yes, you're in the band Turn a cello this way and it's practically like a bass Pop the strings when the play and watch how you shred my face Keep on rockin' each note, grab it right by the throat Keep the rhythm afloat, don't forget to emote And that's all that she wrote! Baby you're in the band If you play the piano, you can play the keys So just loosen it up and strut your expertise Take a look at this music and let your mind expand You're in the band Sit your butt at the skins and try to whack out a beat Feel the groove in your pins, then slowly turn up the heat With a rat-a-tat-tat on the bass and hi-hat Make it juicy and fat, yes exactly like that! And now shut it down flat You're in the band I need a couple of roadies, I need someone on tech Who wants to be security? Well how about being manager? Is that something you could swing? It means I'm putting you in charge of the whole damn thing! We've got our band Now repeat after me, I pledge allegiance to the band! (I pledge allegiance to the band!) And I promise to give Mr. Schneebly full command! (I promise to give Mr. Schneebly full command!) And with me in control of the band as a whole We will rock and we'll roll, with our heart and our soul If you're in raise your hand! I'm in the band! I'm in the band! I'm in the band! I'm in the band! I'm in the band! I'm in the band! You're in the band! We're in the band! You're in the band! We're in the band! You're in the band!
