Davo's polishing an antique Strat

That no musician could afford

He's got himself a twin and a pork pie hat

He's got himself a new jazz chord

He rang up Matty, but Matty's not sure

If his wife's gonna let him off the leash

He says, "Matty, I'm gettin' the band back together

I need you, brother, capiche?"

All across town, the word's out

It's all everybody's talkin' about

They're

Gettin' the band back together

Gettin' the band back together

The Mad Dog's rustled up a Tamar kit

In a nitro sparkle shade of red

He's bookin' 'em out, set 'em up for a hit

In a corner of the back yard shed

The boot shop's kitted out bass man Vince

With a bad pair of snakeskin shoes

His girlfriend's given him an apricot print

All the better for playing the blues

All that fire, and all that belly

The bottom end's tighter than Byron and Shelley

And they're

Gettin' the band back together

Gettin' the band back together

Yes, they're

Gettin' the band back together

You know they're

Gettin' the band back together

Life is good with the kids all gone

But it's all been too quiet, too long

And they're

Gettin' the band back together

Gettin' the band back together

Somewhere out in the great beyond

Big E's singin' forever

Even now that the weekend's comin'

Gettin' the band back together

And they're

Gettin' the band back together

Gettin' the band

Gettin' the band back together

I wanna sing it

Gettin' the band back together

Yes, they are

Gettin' the band back together

Hey

(Get it back together)

Gettin' the band back together

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Gettin' the band back together

Oh, come on now

Gettin' the band back together

Gettin' the band back together

Gettin' the band back together

Together, baby

Gettin' the band back together

Gettin' the band back together

I said they're

Gettin' the band back together
