Getting The Band Back Together - Cold Chisel

Davo’s polishing an antique Strat

That no musician could afford

He’s got himself a twin and a pork pie hat

He’s got himself a new jazz chord

He rang up Matty but Matty’s not sure

If his wife’s gonna let him off the leash

He says, «Matty, I’m getting the band back together

I need ya, brother, capiche?»

All across town, the word’s out

It’s all everybody’s talkin' about

And they are…

Getting the band back together

Getting the band back together

The Mad Dog’s rustled up a Tama kit

In a nitro sparkle shade o' red

He’s booking 'em out, set 'em up for a hit

In a corner of the backyard shed

The boot shop’s kitted out bassman Viv

With a bad pair of snakeskin shoes

His girlfriend’s given him an apricot rinse

All the better for playing the blues

All that fire and all that belly

The bottom end’s tighter than Byron and Shelley

And they are…

Getting the band back together

Getting the band back together, yeah they’re

Getting the band back together, you know they’re

Getting the band back together

Life is good with the kids all gone

But it’s all been too quiet, too long

And they are…

Getting the band back together

Getting the band back together

Somewhere out in the great beyond

Biggie is singing forever

Even now that the weekend’s coming

Getting the band back together

Getting the band back together, getting the band

Getting the band back together, I wanna tell ya they’re

Getting the band back together, yes they are

Getting the band back together, hey (get it back together)

Getting the band back together, hey, hey, hey, hey

Getting the band back together, oh, yeah

Getting the band back together

Getting the band back together

Getting the band back together, together, baby

Getting the band back together

Getting the band back together, I said they’re

Getting the band back together
