"Band of Five"
Copyright 2013, Tano Music
Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo
Bud is missing, Floyd is missing;
Most nights we play, we are a band of seven;
But for tonight, we've a BAND OF FIVE;
We got the drive, keepin'the sound alive.
Ace is drumming, Charlie's strummin';
Dave's got the bass and we got it comin';
Riffin' real hot, Eddies' strings' on fire;
Gino's on keys, takes the band's sound higher.
We found us a great sound.
To get things revin', we need all seven
No one else but us arrived--Just five.;
With half our staff home, we won't play half-tones;
When we're full-blown, we're a band of seven;
But for this gig, we're a BAND OF FIVE;
We got the drive, keepin' the sound alive.
Our band is great band.
With seven we're groovin, but we're still movin';
Keepin' all the sound alive--Just five.
Tho we miss em', we still got rhythm;
Gino and Dave keepin' the bass line bumpin'.
Ace is drumming, Charlie's strummin';
We got the drive, and were keepin' it comin'.
