Verse 1:
As a boy I had a gig with a travelin' show
Way back in '63
We did a little pickin' for the soldier boys
Of General Bobby Lee
Bridge 1:
But when we got to Pennsylvania,
I knew there'd be a change
We caught up with some boys from Georgia
And I heard one of them say
Chorus:
Don't tell the band
The devil's on his way
Don't tell the band
Just let the music play
Verse 2:
Later on I had a job pouring gin and rum
On the grand queen of the sea
We set out on our first transatlantic voyage
Headed for New York City
Bridge 2:
But when I felt that lady shudder
I knew there'd be a change
I saw the captain grab the first mate
And I thought I heard him say
(Chorus)
Just let the music play
Solo over bridge and chorus once each
Verse 3:
In the Restaurant at the End of the Universe
In the year 3010
I was listenin' to the Good Old Interstellar Boys
Playin' "Let It Be" again
Bridge 3:
But when I heard the trumpet sounding
I knew there'd be a change
A prophet wearin' robes appeared before us
And he looked at me and said
(Chorus x2)
Just let the music play
Just let the music play
End on Em
