The Five Pennies Saints
Oh, when the saints (when the saints)
Go marching in (go marching in)
When the saints go marching in (oh yeah)
I wanna be in that number (oh, number)
Oh, when the saints go marching in
And when the saints (oh, when the saints)
Go marching in (go marching in)
Who's gonna play on the days when the saints go marching in?
Well Louis, I'll explain that now
The mostest and the greatest
From the oldest to the latest
Gonna play in the band, in the great brass band
When the saints go marching in
Louis, what about Brahms? (He laid no bone)
And Chopin? (A solid man)
And Bach, that great old mazzle
Yeah, that great old mazzle was a gasser
Mozart, the moves with all he had
With the symphonies and operas and all that jazz
When the saints go marching in
Do you dig Rachmaninoff? (On and off)
Rimsky? (Of course, of course)
Ravel and Gustav Mahler
Yeah, but don't forget Fats Waller (I wouldn't do that)
Let's dance a twist that you can't resist
Yeah, yeah put this on that list
When the saints go marching in
(Here we go, Louis!)
Oh, when the saints (oh, when the saints)
Go marching in (that number just kept diggin' me)
Oh when the saints go marching in (we'll face it all)
I wanna be in that number, oh
When the saints go marching in
Then Saint-Saëns (Saint-Saëns si bon)
And George Bizet (très, très Bizet)
Mouton, Suppé, Massenet (and often Bach)
Do you dig him, John? (Very often)
Well Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques
I dig you Jacques, I dig you Jacques
Massenet and Bizet (Massenet and Bizet, Massenet and Bizet)
Holden, Holden and Bach
How about Wagner? (Devout)
And Haydn (who?) Joseph Haydn (who?) Haydn! (Well let him come out!)
Paganini? (Rossini?) Toscanini? (Puccini?) Khachaturian (Gesundheit!), thank you
Now what's his name? Mr. Bernstein
And you know that cat?
Oh yes, oh yeah
Too high (too low)
The saints!
Go marching in (go marching in)
When the saints go marching in (oh yeah)
I wanna be in that number (oh, number)
Oh, when the saints go marching in
And when the saints (oh, when the saints)
Go marching in (go marching in)
Who's gonna play on the days when the saints go marching in?
