At two o'clock they had a date
Preparations for performance at eight
Nineteen instruments polished and bright
Unfortunately their final concert is tonight
The brassband dressed in blue and white
So little audience
Around the band stand
The conductor lifts up his hand
Trumpets, tubas, trombones resound
But from fader the sloser a bigger band comes
Which musicians play
So loud and so pure
Tunes of trumpets, tubas, trombones resound
Tunes of trumpets, tubas, trombones resound
But grow fader the closer a bigger band comes
Which musicians play
So loud and so pure
Nineteen men packed up their instruments.
