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
I wish that I could be a banner man.
And the drums went boom, and the cornets played
And the tuba umpaed 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
I wish that I could be a banner man.
(Chorus:)
Glory, glory, glory, listen to the band
Sing that same old story -- ain't it something grand
to be good as you can, like a banner man?
So we reached the square on the top of the hill
And the music stopped and we stood quite 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, and the cornets blew
And we marched back down into the town again.
