Hey kid, let me show you something
I've seen you standing out there in the hall
with those bullies beating you down
making you feel small
but I can take you to a place
where you'll feel mighty fine
there's just one thing you gotta do
what?
keep time

Red day, everyday
we come here early in the morning
with our trumpets and our piccolos and baritone horns
and you know that statistically we're at the top of the class
gonna one day make bank and get lots of
brass

Alright, drum-major's 'bout to lay it down
to give a few good reasons why we run this town
you see we rockin' gold medals and platinum status
got bleachers full of fans who always lookin' at us
and if you let the football team see what we've done through the years
our winning record and accomplishments would bring them to tears
pride of the North Shore and livin' large
the real masters of Bertram yo we in charge

I got my instrument
I got this thing on my head
we rockin' white tees jammin' to the sunset

We're the band kids
we're the band kids
we get into football games for free
we got our own private wing
we're the band kids
and we also do some sports
but we're not very good
just sayin'

Now they say the ladies dig us for our comical styles
but it's also true they dig us for our awkward smiles
and you know that the tuxedos gonna gain us a glance
but what really gets 'em lookin' is the way we dance

Hey I'm the tuba master 'bout to lay down the bass
my notes so echoin' they reach your parking space
I can wipe away your miseries just like a broom
but you'll never see me 'round I got my own bathroom
from our balcony we look out across the land
to spread the good old word of marching band
that if you wear the uniform and embrace marching attire
you will walk with swag and become a band geeks desire

Gold and platinum is all we get
and we never ever settle for less

We're the band kids
have you seen our trophy shelf?
we're the band kids
ooh the orchestra don't count
we're the band kids
and we never leave the school
and we all have our own rooms

Now these pretty boys have been here laying down the beat
but it's time for the band girls to turn up the heat
we control and rule these boys with our perpetual glares
and we make them lift the heavy things up the stairs
people give us faces 'cause we're quite a sight
when we blast our instruments in the dead of night
so people say we're shy, have a quiet demeanor
but in reality we're tough and a whole lot meaner
we embody this school, representing the witches
'cause you know who we are, we're the Salem High *****

Never thought I'd be in the band
a brotherhood standing hand in hand
hey Shevory
look at me
oh ooh whoa ooh oh
never thought I'd see the day
when the band bus take me away
believe me when I say
I banged a bass drum

I'm in the band (I'm in the band)
I'm in the band
everybody look at me 'cause I'm playing in the band
I'm in the band (I'm in the band)
I'm in the band
take a good hard look at my platinum medal band

We're the band kids
we're the band kids
we get into football games for free
we got our own private wing
we're the band kids
and we also do some sports
but we're not very good
just sayin'

We're the band kids
have you seen our trophy shelf?
we're the band kids
ooh the orchestra don't count
we're the band kids
and we never leave the school
and we all have our own rooms

We're the band kids
we're the band kids
we get into football games for free
we got our own private wing
we're the band kids
and we also do some sports
but we're not very good
just sayin'

We're the band kids
have you seen our trophy shelf?
we're the band kids
ooh the orchestra don't count
we're the band kids
and we never leave the school
and we all have our own rooms
