The Lyrics

In my act, I do this parody as an anthem for trombone players everywhere. While I'm not technically a trombone major (I studied euphonium), I play well enough to get an occasional slide gig.
Wind us up and let us go - we're the guys who can really blow
We're Trombone Players
Twinkle in our eyes, shake in our hips - you won't believe what we do with our lips
We're Trombone Players
We have got the instrument for slidin' - through the melody we will be glidin'
We're the guys with mighty lungs, supple wrists, legato tongues
We're Trombone Players

We're the guys with mighty chops - some drink beer but I drink schnapps
We're Trombone Players
We'll fill all your low brass needs - and we never use those reeds
We're Trombone Players
We have got the instrument for glissin' - and our slides do it in seven positions
When there's a part that we can't fake it - We turn to the keyboard and say "Take it!"
We're Trombone Players
We're Trombone Players
Definition of the ultimate optimist: A trombone player who wears a beeper ;D
