LIP-SPIT MARCH

I heard the Turkish March, as the band played down the road,
I heard the brass lip-spit spraying, as they passed by my abode,
I'm sure Wolfgang was so proud, 
The band was really, really loud,
They got tickets with stiff fines, because they broke the nuisance code.

BANDALEITO

There was a little mosquito,
They all called him, Bandaleito,
He played a little harp,
In the key of C-sharp,
Bug spray would make him retreato.

BALLAD OF THE LITTLE TRUMPETIER

The little trumpetier,
Played best after drinking his beer,
And, for half a shot and a fin,
He'd back-play violin,
It's too bad he had a tin ear.

THE HARPSICHORD BLUES

When I play music on the harpsichord,
Everyone's closed eyes, look terribly bored,
My notes don't fly,
I try and try,
At competition, I win no award.

THE SINGING SNAPDRAGONS (A BOY BAND ODYSSEY)

Seven little snapdragons were swimming in the salt sea,
They climbed aboard my fishing boat, and sang sweet songs to me,
 I took them back to my dump,
Sat them out on a fresh stump,
Where the snapdragons all sang in cute boy band harmony.

BROTHER BRAT

My trumpet notes are really flat,
Since my brother beat it with a bat,
He beat my oboe on the floor,
And slammed my trombone in ma's truck door,
My big brother is a bully brat.

MY OBOE HAD HOLES

My oboe had too many holes, so I plugged some with chewing gum,
Then when I played my oboe, it made a horrible, hissing hum,
So, my music I could not share,
I led a life of despair,
And, I could never approach my one true love, who played the bongo drum.

I KNEW A BANJO PLAYER NAMED CLAY

I knew a banjo player named Clay,
And, boy could that hillbilly play,
From Mozart to Bach,
From Bluegrass to rock,
His music had something to say.

MY FLUGELHORN PAID FOR RENT AND FOOD

All I want for Christmas is a brand new flugelhorn,
A truck ran over my old one, and made my horn unborn,
I play my horn at the corner and get tossed one cent,
When I get enough pennies, I go and pay my rent,
If I have money left over, I can sup on canned cream corn.

TRUMPET ETUDES BROKE UP THE TWO DUDES

I decided to write etudes, that were fun and fancy,
I did it for the trumpet, for my students Glen and Clancy, 
The etudes made them play real good,
Got them out of this neighborhood,
Then they had a falling out, over someone they called Nancy.

LESTER TRAINED TO PLAY THE TRUMPET

Lester was trained to play the trumpet,
He could only play slow, and couldn’t hump it,
Only fast music could please,
All the dance party sleaze,
Lester then took his trumpet to dump it.

MY PICCOLO VS A TRUMPET CARILLON

A trumpet carillon played all through the night,
They kept me awake which started a fight,
But their brass horns hit true,
Making me all black and blue,
And, up my nose my piccolo fit real tight.

THE WOOD WHITTLER

Tiberius played the trombone everyday,
He inherited it from his Aunt May,
He would have sounded good,
But his bone was made of wood,
For Aunt May would whittle wood, and whittled wood away.

DEREK THE DRUMMER DID DRUM

Derek the drummer, did drum everyday,
He would drum most of the time, since his mom passed away,
When Derek got tired,
He would just get rewired,
By playing pinball at the coffee cafe.

HARRY PLAYED 13 HOLE HARMONY

Harry didn't like playing harmony, but that's all they'd let him do,
Although, Harry was acclaimed at playing the 13 hole kazoo, 
Melody was for the 1st strings,
Harmony for the other things,
So Harry organized a union, now melody he plays too.



SOMETIMES MOZART HELPS, SOMETIMES MOZART DON'T

Ron sat on the toilet while listening to Mozart,
Ron thought through osmosis, it would make him real smart,
Ron had a chemistry test,
Yet, if Ron did his best,
He'd still end up growing old at an all night gas-mart.

I WRITE ETUDES FOR DUDES

I took some time to write some trumpet etudes,
They are used for practice by trumpeter dudes,
Separating men from boys,
They sounded like noise,
As controversial as museum art nudes.

TROMBONE SUZIE

Trombone Suzie was in the college marching band,
Trombone Suzie marched across college football land,
When Trombone Suzie played,
Her school spirit was displayed,
On all social media, Suzie got fanned and fanned.

WAGNER AIN'T NO BRAHMS

I went to the Symphony to hear me some Brahms,
When I get really stressed out, the Brahms music calms,
But, as the Valkyries roared,
My blood pressure soared,
Both armrests got all wet, from my tight gripping palms.

MOZART ON THE DIDGERIDOO

I heard Mozart played on a didgeridoo,
It was something different, something quite new,
I heard The Magic Flute,
On a doo, not a toot,
The doo played an encore, it was Love Is Blue.





#Love Is Blue, composed by by Paul Mauriat
