Lyrics

Don't forget to take some time and celebrate with us in mind
We're gonna have a holiday, a holiday for strings
So get on up and get down now
It's a holiday for strings
When you hear the band will shift its gears
Trombone slides right in time
The drums play rhythms travel spaceways with us
Trumpets blare, the saxes split your hair
And when you feel the thing
Make sure you got your tickets one-way roundtrip
Don't forget to take some time and celebrate with us in mind
We're gonna have a holiday, a holiday for strings
So get on up and get down now
It's a holiday for strings
Written by: David Rose, Sammy Gallop
