| Grab 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! |
