FALL IN AND FOLLOW THE BAND
(Will Haines / Harry Leon / Leo Towers)

Gracie Fields



(Spoken)
Now I'm going to introduce you to all my seventy five children
Now kids, I'm going to sing a little song now and I want you to
learn the chorus
Do you think you'll be able to do it?

(Kids)
Yes Auntie Grace

(Gracie)
Well we'll see, now listen closely

(Sung)
There's tin pans and ash pans and milk pans
So fall in and follow the band
There's bluebells and dumbbells and bluebells
So fall in and follow the band
Hear that drum (drumming)
Rum-tum-tum (drumming)
Here they come, they're simply grand
There's ooh-jahs, and glue jars and jam jars
So fall in and follow the band.

(Gracie) (spoken)
Do you think you'll be able to learn it then?

(Kids)
Yes Auntie Grace

(Gracie)
Are you serious?

(Kids)
Yes

(Gracie)
All right then, let's try you, come on
Come on, you stand up now and sing this bit, right.

(Child's voice) (sung)
There's tin pans and ash pans and milk pans
So fall in and follow the band

(Gracie) (Spoken)
Not so bad

(Gracie) (Sung)
There's trombones (Trombone played)
Saxophones (Saxophone played)
Red hot tones, they're simply grand
There's ooh-jahs, and glue jars and jam jars
So fall in and follow the band.

Come and hear the cutest little band
In the land, what a band
Every day they're marching down our street
Music sweet, it can't be beat

(Gracie) (spoken)
Come on altogether, sing up.

(Kids)
There's tin pans and ash pans and milk pans
So fall in and follow the band
There's bluebells and dumbbells and bluebells
So fall in and follow the band
There's trombones (Trombone played)
Saxophones (Saxophone played)
Red hot tones, they're simply grand
There's ooh-jahs, and glue jars and jam jars
So fall in and follow the band.
