Jethro plays a trumpet At Mt. Zion Gospel band Playing that thing for 15 years Just as hard as he can Now keep on playing that thing Jethro It fills my heart with joy If you don't play that trumpet Lord, who's gonna make all that noise? Bubba plays a tuba Every Sunday at the church Playing that thing for so long man Sometimes his lips they hurt Now keep on playing that thing Bubba It fills my heart with joy If you don't play that tuba Lord, who's gonna make all that noise? Raymond is a drummer Sloppy as can be And momma plays the organ
Like the seventh symphony Poppa plays the guitar Sometimes plays the ba** And you can tell he's happy From the smile up on his face Then there's little Liza Who plays a tambourine Sometimes plays it smilin' But mostly plays it mean Keep on playing that thing Liza It fills my heart with joy If you don't play that tambourine Lord, who's gonna make all that noise? If you don't play that trumpet Lord, who's gonna make all that noise? If I don't play this piano Lord, who's gonna make all that noise? Come on and play that tambourine
