When I saw her sing, I latched onto her talent
Like a love-lorn leach and hoped that she would notice me
With my three chords, and day job at the music store
And smoke-soaked brain, a hobo on a speeding train
I walk down, find your flyer on the ground
A voice in need, I'd love to think it could be me
I won't lie, I haven't let a day go by
Without what you wrote
And singing every single note
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Oh, come on, come on, come on now
(x4)
I'm not in love
This is purely professional
We'll share this mic
But only if it feels alright
I'm feeling shy
I can barely meet your eye
Let's start the show
Grab the mic and go
Let's go
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Oh, come on, come on, come on now
(x4)
Shake it out
What do you want?
I wanna break loose
Now cut it up
Like Footloose
Come on, let's go
We're singing "oh, oh"
Come one, let's go
We gotta know
(x2)
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Oh, come on, come on, come on now
(x4)
