Push the trombone in an’ oot;

Tickle the strings of your mandolin;

Howl yer joy an’ crack the grin;

Salute the Stars, the Sun, an’ Moon—

Our own Madge will marry soon.

Clang the cymbals, twang the harp;

Blow the bazoo loud and sharp;

Finger the strings of the wailing cello;

Make welkin ring with joyous bellow;

Ring out wild bells your merry tune—
