Here's a little story 'bout a homemade band
Some friends of mine made by hand
Sally found a bolt and she hit it with a spoon
Then she smiled and sang this tune
She cried "oooh- aaah-"
and everyone could understand
That Sally was havin' fun with the Homemade Band

Jackie found some bottle caps
And nailed them to a piece of wood
He shook that thing with a jing-a-ling
And it was really sounding good
He cried "oooh- aaah-"
and everyone could understand
That Jackie was havin' fun with the Homemade Band

Steve and Susan saved several soda cans
And empty plastic bottles too
They dropped in little beads, dry beans or rice
And made some shakers good as new

Rosa found some plywood scraps
And strips of wood that weren't too thick
With glue she made a hollow block
And tapped it with a little stick
She cried "oooh- aaah-"
And everyone could understand
That Rosa was havin' fun with the Homemade Band

Paco cut some pieces from a hardwood dowel
And made a pair of sticks to play
Seiji strung some bells on a piece of string
And they sounded just like Santa's sleigh
Playing all together you could hear their sound
Ringing all across the land
People came from everywhere to listen to
The rhythm of the Homemade Band
They cried "oooh- aaah- "
And everyone could understand
That my friends were havin' fun with the Homemade Band
