Jethro plays the trumpet
In Mount Zion Gospel Band
Playing that thing for 50 years, just as hard as he can

Now keep on playing that thing Jethro
Fills my heart with joy

If you don't play that trumpet
Lord, who's gonna make all that noise

Bubba plays the tuba every Sunday at the church
Play that thing for so long babe
Sometimes his lips, they hurt

Now keep playing that thing Bubba
Fills my heart with joy

If you don't play that tuba
Lord, who's gonna make all that noise

Raymond is the drummer, sloppy as can be
Mama plays the organ like the 7th symphony
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
Papa plays the guitar, sometimes play the bass
And you can tell he's happy from the smile upon his face

Then there's little Liza who plays the tambourine
Sometimes play a smile
But mostly plays it mean

Keep playing that thing Liza
Fills my heart with joy

If you don't play that tambourine
Lord, whose gonna make all that noise

If you don't play that trumpet
Lord, whose gonna make all that noise

If you don't play that tuba
Lord, whose gonna make all that noise

C'mon and play that tambourine.
