Band Parent

I'm a band parent, I'm a band parent
Keepin' kids in line at halftime
I'm a band parent, I'm a band parent
I'm haulin' drums

I was so naive when my daughter did receive
The note that said that she had made it
I didn't realize that every band relies
On parent's time and cash to aid it

I'm a band parent, I'm a band parent
I'm a sousaphone chaperone
I'm a band parent, I'm a band parent
I'm cleanin' horns

Band takes a trip, each year, out to someplace hip
This year the destination's Boston
They make the parents pay their own little darling's way
So they don't care what it is costin'

I'm a band parent, I'm a band parent
Raisin' funds all day, all must pay
I'm a band parent, I'm a band parent
My money's gone
