about
This song was inspired by the folktale of the Bremen Town Musicians -- animals who are en route to Bremen to form a band. Features Keith Grimwood's bass playing, a clever piano reference to ‘The Entertainer’ by Scott Joplin (courtesy of David Durst), and a bunch of subtle fun elements mixed in!
lyrics
We’re on the road to Bremen,
Making good friends along the way.
We’re gonna make some music,
Where will this road will take me today?
First we need some rhythm,
So everybody clap your hands!
We’re gonna make some music,
Everybody now, play drums with the band!
We also need a bassline!
So everybody get down low.
We’re gonna make some music,
Sing along, how low can you go?
We also need piano,
So everybody play a chord!
Let’s get our fingers ready,
Everybody get on board!
We’re on the road to Bremen,
Making good friends along the way.
We’re gonna make some music,
Where will this road will take me today?
We’re gonna need some singers,
So everybody sing out loud!
Let’s join our voices together,
Sing harmony, be bold and proud!
We’re on the road to Bremen,
Making good friends along the way.
We’re gonna make some music,
Where will this road will take me today?
We’re on the road to Bremen,
Making good friends along the way.
We’re gonna make some music,
Where will this road will take me today?
I wonder where this road will take me today?
