Lyrics:
Girl, there ain't no I in "team"
But you know there is a "me"
Strike the band up, one, two, three
I promise that you'll never find another like me
Girl, there ain't no I in "team"
But you know there is a "me"
And you can't spell "awesome" without "me"
I promise that you'll never find another like
Me-e-e (yeah), ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (and I won't stop, baby)
I'm the only one of me (I'm the only one of me)
Baby, that's the fun of me (baby, that's the fun of me)
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (oh)
You're the only one of you (oh)
Baby, that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e
Girl, there ain't no I in "team" (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
But you know there is a "me"
I'm the only one of me (oh-oh)
Baby, that's the fun of me
(Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Strike the band up, one, two, three
You can't spell "awesome" without "me"
You're the only one of you
Baby, that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e
There is work to be done, to be done
There's a war to be won, to be won
Come, you son of a son of a gun,
Take your stand
Fall in line, yea a bow
Come on, let's go
Hey, leader, strike up
Hey, leader, strike up
Hey, leader, strike up the band
I promise that you'll never find another like me
I know that I'm a handful, baby, uh
I know I never think before I jump
And you're the kind of guy the ladies want
And there's a lot of cool chicks out there
I know that I went psycho on the phone
I never leave well enough alone
And trouble's gonna follow where I go
And there's a lot of cool chicks out there
But one of these things is not like the others
Like a rainbow with all of the colors
Baby doll, when it comes to a lover
I promise that you'll never find another like
Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm the only one of me
Baby, that's the fun of me
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You're the only one of you
Baby, that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e
I know I tend to make it about me
I know you never get just what you see
But I will never bore you, baby
And there's a lot of lame guys out there
And when we had that fight out in the rain
You ran after me and called my name
I never wanna see you walk away
And there's a lot of lame guys out there
'Cause one of these things is not like the others
Livin' in winter, I am your summer
Baby doll, when it comes to a lover
I promise that you'll never find another like
Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm the only one of me
Let me keep you company
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You're the only one of you
Baby, that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e
Girl, there ain't no "I" in "team"
But you know there is a "me"
Strike the band up, one, two, three
I promise that you'll never find another like me
Girl, there ain't no I in "team"
But you know there is a "me"
And you can't spell "awesome" without "me"
I promise that you'll never find another like
Me-e-e (yeah), ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (and I won't stop, baby)
I'm the only one of me (I'm the only one of me)
Baby, that's the fun of me (baby, that's the fun of me)
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (oh)
You're the only one of you (oh)
Baby, that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e
Girl, there ain't no "I" in "team" (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
But you know there is a "me"
I'm the only one of me (oh-oh)
Baby, that's the fun of me
(Eeh-eeh-eeh)
Strike the band up, one, two, three (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You can't spell "awesome" without "me"
You're the only one of you (yeah, yeah)
Baby, that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e
Get on your Harley Davidson menstrual cycle and ride it like a motorbike
I'm finna blow the mic the whole night, so
Strike up the fuckin' maestro, I'm nitro
And hi, ho, hand me my shovel
I'm liable to dig my hole deeper
And it's off to H-E double hockey sticks I go
I'm getting by with my wicked ways
I'm loading up and I'm taking names
I wanna dig my way to hell
I wanna dig my way to hell
I'm getting by with my wicked ways
I'm loading up and I'm taking names
I wanna dig my way to hell
I wanna dig my way to hell
Oh, please be empty, please be empty, please be empty
Oh, thank you, God
Ah
Shit
Fuck
What the fuck?
Let the drums roll out
Let the trumpet call
While the people shout, "strike up the band"
Hear the cymbals ring
Calling one and all
To the martial swing, strike up the band
There is work to be done, to be done
Let's have fun, fun, fun
You son of a gun of a gun, take your stand
Form a line, oh, oh
Come on, let's go
Hey, leader, strike up the band!
Let's snap our fingers clap our hands
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Let's give 'em what the song demands
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
We'll hear them playing keep that beat
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Let's get together what a treat
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Strike up the band, start the parade
Don't let that grand old rhythm fade
Just play that drum, play that number
When the saints come marchin' in
Shake tambourines, play that cornet
That Trumpet horn you won't forget
Your heart will hum to that number
When the saints come marchin' in
The cymbals clang, just pound that beat
Sounds like a hundred marching feet
It's fun to join in that number
When the saints come marchin' in
See banners wave, oh hear that ring
We all feel prouder than a king
'Cause everyone, everyone loves that number
When the saints come marchin' in
All because I walk a different street
And not helloed by some I meet
That don't mean that what I do ain't right
Those that said that I was wrong
Now say thay knew it all along
'Cause I'll be a hero when I strike
I'll be a hero when I strike
Come up tight and out of sight
They'll say I'm dynamite
And they'd like to be there when I lite
'Cause I'll be a hero when I strike
I love God and the flag
And I ain't the kind to stand and brag
And I'm the kind to stand right up and fight
Don't need a uniform to wear
To make the people stop and stare
'Cause, Hoss, I'll be a hero when I strike
I'll be a hero when I strike
Come up tight and out of sight
They'll say I'm dynamite
And they'd like to be there when I lite
'Cause I'll be a hero when I strike
Won't shake hands until I'm sore
Wear medals hangin' to the floor
They'll throw rocks at Franklin and his kind
They'll say, boy, ain't that cowboy hot
There ain't nothin' he ain't got
But I'm gonna be a hero when I strike
I'll be a hero when I strike
Come up tight and out of sight
They'll say I'm dynamite
And they'd like to be there when I lite
'Cause I'll be a hero when I strike
Head down, head down, head down
Do you understand me? (Oh, shit)
Waitin' in a room
All dressed up and bound and gagged up to a chair
It's so unfair
I don't dare to move
For the pain she puts me through is what I need
So make it bleed
I'm in distress
Oh, mistress, I confess, so do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight, well
You know I will obey
So please don't make me beg
For blood, sex, and booze you give me
Say I'm disturbed
It's what I deserve
Another lesson to be learned
From a girl called "Kill"
My head is in the gutter
Thank you, sir, strike up another mandolin
Of discipline
Throw me to the dogs
Let them eat my flesh down to the wood
It feels so good
I'm in distress
Oh, mistress, I confess, so do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight, well
You know I will obey
So please don't make me beg
For blood, sex, and booze you give me
Say I'm disturbed
It's what I deserve
Another lesson to be learned
From a girl called "Kill"
Cha, woo
Whoa, whoa
I'm in distress
Oh, mistress, I confess, so do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight, well
You know I will obey
So please don't make me beg
For blood, sex, and booze you give me
Ah, whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
I'll show you a real time
You really messed up everything
You really messed up everything
If you could take it all back again
Strike up the tinderbox
Why should I be good if you're not?
Make some noise, strike up the band
Pull the paint off of the ceiling
Sing down the Walls of Jericho
One more time with feeling
I went walking through the valley
Arrows flying overhead
Heaven told me, "Boy, be patient"
Take the long way 'round instead
You've come too far to turn back now
Let me show ya how the walls come crumbling down
Make some noise, strike up the band
Pull the paint off of the ceiling
Sing down the Walls of Jericho
One more time with feeling
Drop your shield and lay your sword down
Your weapons are your voices
You will know the war is over
When the weary soul rejoices
You've come too far to turn back now
Let me show ya how the walls come crumbling down
Make some noise, strike up the band
Pull the paint off of the ceiling
Sing down the Walls of Jericho
One more time with feeling
Wake the echo, call the thunder
Tell them we've only just begun
No amen, no hallelujah
This is a song for everyone
Make some noise, strike up the band
Pull the paint off of the ceiling
Sing down the Walls of Jericho
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling, boys
Long as we're still breathing
Sing down the Walls of Jericho
One more time with feeling
Go with what I've sent you...Someone to love
Heaven must have sent you to me
And I'm not gonna let you go back
I'm gonna love you till the stars don't shine
And angels start dressing in black
I wanna shout "Hallelujah"
Oh, heart I've finally fooled ya
Somebody strike up the band
I've got a good, good feeling
Doobedood'ndoo doobedood'ndoobe doobedood'ndoo
Oh, doobedood'ndoobe doobedood'ndoobe doobedood'ndoo
Oh, doobedood'ndoobe doobedood'ndoobe doobedood'ndoo
I love you, yes I do
Doobedood'ndoo
I just started living
The day you started giving your love to me
And now music feels my soul
It sounds just like a rock 'n' roll symphony
Listen to the music in my soul
Ahhhh...
Who to trust
Bring down the giants old and new
Strike up the band and waltz on through
I was shaking with a fever
When the last good horse went down
We were just a couple dancing
Where a thousand kings were crowned
Shaking with a fever
Before the white flag flew
And the ballroom opened up to us
And the dancers danced on through
Love in ruins, torn apart
Victims of the careless heart
Skating on the cold grey ice
Before the flood toward the light
Muddy boots to shiny shoes
Headlines screaming out the news
From dirt and damp to hardwood floors
Beyond the burned out broken walls
I was shaking with a fever
When the last good horse went down
We were just a couple dancing
Where a thousand kings were crowned
Shaking with a fever
Before the white flag flew
And the ballroom opened up to us
And the dancers danced on through
I was shaking with a fever
When the last good horse went down
We were just a couple dancing
Where a thousand kings were crowned
Shaking with a fever
Before the white flag flew
And the ballroom opened up to us
And the dancers danced on through
And the dancers danced on through
Who to trust
Bring down the giants old and new
Strike up the band and waltz on through
I was shaking with a fever
When the last good horse went down
We were just a couple dancing
Where a thousand kings were crowned
Shaking with a fever
Before the white flag flew
And the ballroom opened up to us
And the dancers danced on through
Love in ruins, torn apart
Victims of the careless heart
Skating on the cold grey ice
Before the flood toward the light
Muddy boots to shiny shoes
Headlines screaming out the news
From dirt and damp to hardwood floors
Beyond the burned out broken walls
I was shaking with a fever
When the last good horse went down
We were just a couple dancing
Where a thousand kings were crowned
Shaking with a fever
Before the white flag flew
And the ballroom opened up to us
And the dancers danced on through
I was shaking with a fever
When the last good horse went down
We were just a couple dancing
Where a thousand kings were crowned
Shaking with a fever
Before the white flag flew
And the ballroom opened up to us
And the dancers danced on through
And the dancers danced on through
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Mmm
Uh, huh
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired flamenco dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful
So come dance the silence down through the morning
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah
Uh huh, yeah
Cut up, Maria
Show me some of them Spanish dances
Pass me a bottle, Mr.
Now don't you move
Don't you move
Don't you move
Strike up the band
We're doing a sequel,
We're back by popular demand.
Come on everybody, strike up the band!
We're doing a sequel,
That's what we do in Hollywood!
And everybody knows that the sequel's never quite as good!
Handy dandy, controversy surrounds him
He been around the world and back again
Something in the moonlight still hounds him
Handy dandy, just like sugar and candy
Handy dandy, if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says
"Strike up the band", they hit it
Handy dandy, handy dandy
You say, "What are ya made of?"
He says, "Can you repeat what you said?"
Let the drums roll out
Let the trumpet call
While the people shout "Strike up the band"
Hear the cymbals ring
Calling' one and all
To the martial swing, strike up the band
There is work to be done, to be done
Let's have fun, fun, fun
You son of a gun of a gun, take your stand
Form a line, oh, oh

Never look up, only look one time
Never hook up, only sups, heys, and hi’s
Been in back my bag like
The fries are the bottom
Never get past this road block in my life
Gettin the courage to say somethin was on me
Chill with guys and gals and
They said look homie
Go use this chance at this dance
To try to do something
Create the will to go talk
No one will do if for me
Uhn, mood ‘ready set just go
Over and do it slowly
Strike up a convo don't
Wanna leave here lonely
Thinkin of witty moves and charms
To usе on her
She is prize and my еyes needin a trophy
Movin so nervously
She turned and approached me
Time for talents, gotta clutch like Kobe
Gettinn ready to ask her
I leaned in so closely
All of sudden she turned and then told me-
I woke up
Must’ve been the shock that awoke me
I look up, Im still starin at the wall
I sit up, I hear the clock in the nosebleeds
I stand up, and shes sittin in the hall
I woke up
Must’ve been the shock that awoke me
I look up, Im still starin at the wall
I sit up, I hear the clock in the nosebleeds
I stand up, no ones sittin in the hall
RIght now, right now
I go, to go pick up the phone
One bar in the phone, one scar in the bones
Feel it ailing my skeleton
Now my feet wanna roam
Sittin in the next room
There she is roun’ a dome
Keep befriendin the known
One lil sentence Im gone
I know, I keep settin her up on throne
But a queen needs a king
Right now the queens alone
Ive shone, I can't accomplish anything
Continuous thoughts binded by a mental ring
In the front of the mind
But I keep belittling
Emotes on steady cookin
They still is sizzling yeah is sizzling yeah
Tried another route but I keep ending up here
Needin a reunion see me out it Ma Dear
Try have her number by the end of the year
Then she called me over and
Said this in my ear
Wake up, this time she had awoke me, yeah
I look, rub my eyes, I see a trophy, yeah
No disguise, lifes sublime, she’s
Always known me, yeah
Fast forward five, changed my life
Wake up, this time she had awoke me, yeah
