Let The Band Play On Lyrics - Lucky Dube

Even though his times are hard 

You can hardly see it on his face 

Because of the smile 

People coming in from miles away 

To hear him sing and see him play 

So he can' t disappoint them now 

The room is full of smoke 

But he can see them dancing 

And he can see them crying 

It doesn' t bother him at all 'Cause he knows it' s only tears of joy 

Chorus: 

Let the band play on 

There' s a girl sitting by the corner there 

And she looks at him with her big brown eyes 

He smiles back and carries on playing 

It doesn' t bother him at all 

Somehow, it gives him some comfort 

Police came in halfway through the night 

With the good news 

Neighbours are complaining 

'Cause the music is so low low low low 

So turn it up, now 

Chorus: 

Let the band play on
