The Banner Man - Blue Mink

So we waved our hands as we marched along

And the people smiled as we sang our song

And the world was saved as they listened to the band

And the Banner-Man held the banner high

He was ten feet tall and he touched the sky

And I wish that I could be a Banner-Man

Glory, glory, glory

Listen to the band

Sing the same old story

Ain’t it something grand?

To be good as you can

Like a Banner-Man

And the drums went, boom as the cornets play

And the tuba, «Umba «D», all the way

And the kids and the dogs were laughing as they ran

And the Banner-Man held the banner high

With an Allelujah in his eye

And I wish that I could be a Banner-Man

Glory, glory, glory

So we reached the square, on the top of the hill

And the music stopped and we stood still

And a few were saved and the people said

Amen

Then we all got up and we formed a queue

And the drums went, bang as the trumpets blew

And we marched back down into the town again
