I’ve played myself on a stage or two Drank ‘em dry of the free house brew Bagged the mike when the power was through But I need the boys in the band. Ch: So beat it Roger ‘till your wrist gets sore Pick that banjo, John, and frail some more I’ll keep ‘em going till they shout ‘encore” If I just have the boys in the band. Sat by a fire where the coals were hot Picking guitar when my voice was shot Telling the people “You know it’s not Me, It’s the boys in the band!” Singing a bridge that sounds out of sight Vamping a chord till it rings just right Hoping to hell that the skin is tight For the beat from the boys in the band
Not all the boys are male. Just a thank you to John, Roger, Libby, Sue,Red,Allen and a few hundred others

This one I love, Peter. Down and dirty little diddy. Hope it gets air play.

Loved this Peter! Loved the way the lyrics flowed so it almost seemed as if I found myself falling into a quick-paced rhythm on each successive line. But what are the chords?

Nice tribute to those 'boys in the band'... has a realistic air to it.
