Trumpet, Trumpet, Toot! Toot! Lyrics - Singles - Sun

You gotta memorize all the lines, and Brother 

Thespian, you'll be fine 

You gotta define your breath in beats 

With a graduation pen 

Use mind 

Stage left: Enter Maggie, looking hurried, 

She has a parcel in her arms 

Were you the leopard or the virgin, 

Or the child in a grown man's beard 

Worn out of place and hanging off his face 

By the time the audience cheered? 

You were feeling pretty cocky on the day 

You became an actor 

I know the "thing" I shouldn't say 

So I'll leave it at this: 

I hope you get what you're after 

And if when you're out you see the hundredth rose 

Fallfrom the sky 

Brother, stick that thing in the ground and 

Say a heartfelt prayer for your safe arrival 

I'd like to think that the actors never banded 

I'd like to throw this trumpet down and go empty handed 

The part of the virgin has been taken 

So let me throw this trumpet down and go empty handed 

If you're the virgin I'm the stand-in 

I'd like to think the actors never banded 

I'd like to throw this trumpet down and go empty handed 

And go "Da da da-da da"
