Big Brass Band from Brazil

歌詞

Three brothers down in Rio had a noisy family trio Three piccollos that sounded mighty shrill But their papa called it music so with his dough they planned The big brass band from Brazil So soon they sent to Cuba for some trumpets and a tuba They figured that their relatives had skill Papa's ears are stuffed with cotton but he still thinks they're grand The big brass band from Brazil Oh they practised all night long But they only learned one song So they played that same old phrase Fourty seven different ways There's first and second cousins and there's uncles by the dozens They play as long as Papa pays the bill And it's getting more expensive each time that they expand The big brass band from Brazil With cymbals and maracas they were hot as firecrackers The night they played that concert on the hill And they made it more exciting by crashing to the sand The big brass band from Brazil Oh they practised all night long But they only learned one song They don't need their drums at all When the neighbors bang the walls They caused a big sensation as they played across the nation As long as something's different it's a thrill And to keep Brazilian friendship the critics never panned The big brass band from Brazil Oh they practised all night long But they only learned one song People say that they'd be through If they practised something new
