Lyrics
Strike up the band, strike up the band
There is no work today
Hang out the flags, pack up your bags
It's a play day, hooray!
We are gonna dance for a mile today
Run, jump, and walk for a smile today
Strike up the band, strike up the band
For a play day away
Jump on the bus, let's hear it for us
There is no work, wahay!
Get up, get down, it's a brand new day
Raining or shining, we don't care, we're out to play!
Sail out on the blue
Climb a hill for a view
Ride down to town, have a look around
We are here, there, everywhere
Look over here
Dance if you dare
Come to the fair
Come on, let's have a show today
Step on the style, give a smile for me and shout, hooray!
Strike up the band, strike up the band
There is no work today
Hang out the flags, pack up your bags
It's a play day, hooray!
Strike up the band, strike up the band
For a play day away
Jump on the bus, let's hear it for us
There is no work, wahay!
Get up, get down it's a brand new day
Raining or shining, we don't care, we're out to play!
Sail out on the blue
Climb a hill for a view
Ride down to town, have a look around
We are here, there, everywhere
Look over here
Dance if you dare
Come to the fair
Come on, let's have a show today
Step on the style, give a smile for me and shout, hooray!
Take a trip on a train
Fry a pie in an aeroplane
Give each cloud a middle name
Jump to the ground, go round, move around
We are here, there, everywhere
We're over here
It's a play day, hooray!
