You're In The Band - The Original Broadway Cast of School of Rock, Andrew Lloyd Webber

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!
