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 played
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 hallelujah in his eye
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!
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 as the trumpets blew
And we marched back down into the town again
