Verse
G
So we waved our hands as we marched along
C
And the people smiled as we sang our song

And the banner man held the banner high

He was ten feet tall and he touched the sky
Dm G C
And I wish that I could be a banner man

And the drums went boom as the cornets play
C
And the tuba oomphard all the way

And the banner man held the banner high

With an Alleluiah in his eye
Dm G C C
And I wish that I could be a banner man

So we reached the square on the top of the hill
C
And the music stopped and we stood still

And the drums went bang as the trumpets blew
Dm G C
And we marched back down into the town again
