Play with the Band Lyrics – Performed by Michael Leon-Wooley as Louis

Play with the Band Text

---

Right now, I’m up here
Livin’ out my wildest dreams
And today, they will see
Here is where I’m supposed to be
Playin’ hard with the band
As loud as I think I can
They couldn’t take away my dream
‘Cause it belongs to me
And now they won’t judge a book by its cover
‘Cause I got what it takes, ya’ll!
If you’re listenin’ clear, you know I play like no other
Spoken: Ya’ll ready for what I’m about to show you? Ladies and gentlemen, listen here!

Yeah, today I’m gonna play with the band
Yeah, and I’mma give it all that I can

Spoken: Ya’ll watch careful, now

The curtain opens up and you’ll shout real loud
Ya’ll keep cheerin’ me on
‘Cause now I’m playin’ your favorite song

Spoken: Oh, I just wanna play— play my trumpet real loud! Here, ya’ll, that’s what makes me happy! I just wanna see you
dance! Dance, ya’ll!

And now you won’t judge a book by its cover
If you’re listenin’ clear, you hear I play like no other
You better believe it! Bring her home!
Yeah, today I’m gonna play with the band
Yeah, and I’mma give it all that I can
Yeah, today I’m gonna play with the band
Yeah, and I’mma give it all that I can

Spoken: Yeah, ya’ll! Oh, sugar!
