Upbeat celebration of the communal power of music
Acoustic guitar, upright bass, vocal harmonies, and whimsical lyrics

lyrics

On the Loose
© 2015 The Squirrel Hillbillies

Mama say, Son, I gotta run
The music’s on the loose
The band is on the corner
Ain’t no time to snoozaroo

Drummer’s making thunder
With the rumble of the bass
Folks swinging from the lampposts
In the latest dancing craze

Billy the Baker banging pans and pots and
Lookout in the fire tower shouts:
“Things are getting hot!”

Mama say, Boy, did you hear that noise
My banjo popped its strings
Hand me down my old trombone
Gonna make that metal sing

Blues are at the crossroads
Playing diddley bows and rags
Weatherman, he call for rain
But we got razzmatazz!

Lil’ Cousin Lizzie, belting out high C's and
Prisoners in the pokey yell:
“We think we found the key!”

Mama say, Child, it’s going wild
Stretching far and wide
Rhythm section’s pounding
And the horns are screeching high
​
No time to find your boutonniere
Or shine those old black shoes
Just grab your axe and pork pie hat
I hear my favorite tune!

Old Uncle Ernie plays his clarinet and
Bones in the graveyard singing:
“We ain’t dead yet!”
