Working song sheet

Verse:
Well I don't know about you
Or what you're going through
But it seems to me the world could use some song
Don't matter what you play
It'll all turn out okay
Once we start, we can't go wrong

Chorus:
Let's get the band together
Hey oh let's have some fun
Let's get the band together
Grab that banjo and play along

Verse:
Remember those old days
When we had something to say,
And nobody could tell us what to do?
You wrote the melody,
We sang in harmo-ny,
Just like the old folks used to do.

Chorus:
Let's get the band together
Come on, the gang's all here
Let's get the band together
Tap your foot and sing along

Verse:
How about the time we played
Up on that big ol' stage?
The music just didn't seem to blend.
I knew we'd be alright,
We put up a worthy fight-
Sometimes you just have to try again.

Chorus:
Let's get the band together
Just like we used to do
Let's get the band together
Join in before the song's all through

Verse:
We can sit around the fire,
I know we won't get tired-
The music seems to keep us all alive.
We'll teach it to the kids,
They'll know all the hits,
We'll pass it down the family line.

Chorus:
Let's get the band together
Why don't we play a tune
Let's get the band together
Play the songs we used to do

Chorus:
Let's get the band together
Hey oh let's have some fun
Let's get the band together
Sing it loud now everyone
