He’s a music man and he sells clarinets to the kids in the town with the big trombones and the rat-a-tat drums, big brass bass, big brass bass, and the piccolo, the piccolo with uniforms, too with a shiny gold braidon the coat and a big red stripe runnin’ . . . Well, I don’t know much about bands, but I do know you can’t make a living selling big trombones, no sir. Mandolin picks, perhaps and here and there a juice harp. No, the fellow sells bands, Boys bands. I don’t know how he does it but he lives like a king and he dallies and he gathers and he plucks and shines and when the man dances, certainly boys, what else? The piper pays him! Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir. When the man dances, certainly boys, what else? The piper pays him! ---
