Edison Grand Concert Band - The Liberty Bell March Songtexte

LIBERTY BELL

If you want some fun and get a history lesson too?

You want the Liberty Bell to ring you got to pull the rope.
You want to make it go ring a ding you got to have some hope
You want the Liberty bell to sing you got to pull the cord
So ring a little bit more than you can afford (you can afford)

Youre wondering what this song is all about
Youve never been closer now to finding out
So lean a little bit nearer now, and listen my dear
Ill tell you what you really need to hear

Maybe you think I want to pull your chain?
[That really could only mean that Im insane}
But that wouldnt be the way your trust to gain.
So come a little bit closer, now, and open your ear.
Ill tell you what I think you need to hear.

TRIO
Grab that rope and give the thing a pull
Emotions then will make your eyes feel full
You may not think that youll be on the brink
Of making noise youll hear forever
Ringing in your ears; you better
Grab that cord and give the thing a jerk
Cause if you dont that bell aint gonna work
It may be cracked, but when the clappers whacked
The sound will give your mouth the urge to cheer!

(Dogfight)
The Liberty Bell (the Liberty bell)
The Liberty Bell (the Liberty Bell)
The Liberty Bell, The Liberty Bell, its in Pennsylvania
(The one thats in)
The Liberty Bell (the Liberty bell)
The Liberty Bell (the Liberty Bell)
The Liberty Bell, The Liberty Bell thats in Philadelphia
(The one thats in)
Theyre keeping it in Convention Hall
Youll its hanging right inside the Mall
You better get your ass in gear and make some music we can hear

So grab a hold and give the rope a tug
And then youll want to give yourself a hug
It feels so good to do the things you should
Youll never want to hear the ring of
Any other ringin thing

I bet youll want to ring the Bell again
It sounds just like the one they call Big Ben
So give a yank, youll have yourself to thank
Youll feel so good youll do it twice and then
Youll never stop. (Stop!)
