Jethro plays a trumpet
At Mt. Zion Gospel band
Playing that thing for 15 years
Just as hard as he can
Now keep on playing that thing Jethro
It fills my heart with joy
If you don't play that trumpet
Lord, who's gonna make all that noise?
Bubba plays a tuba
Every Sunday at the church
Playing that thing for so long man
Sometimes his lips they hurt
Now keep on playing that thing Bubba
It fills my heart with joy
If you don't play that tuba
Lord, who's gonna make all that noise?
Raymond is a drummer
Sloppy as can be
And momma plays the organ
Like the seventh symphony
Poppa plays the guitar
Sometimes plays the bass
And you can tell he's happy
From the smile up on his face
Then there's little Liza
Who plays a tambourine
Sometimes plays it smilin'
But mostly plays it mean
Keep on playing that thing Liza
It fills my heart with joy
If you don't play that tambourine
Lord, who's gonna make all that noise?
If you don't play that trumpet
Lord, who's gonna make all that noise?
If I don't play this piano
Lord, who's gonna make all that noise?
Come on and play that tambourine
