Lyrics Dave Barnes

Dave Barnes

All That Noise

Jethro plays the trumpet

In Mount Zion Gospel Band

Playing that thing for 50 years, just as hard as he can

Now keep on playing that thing Jethro

Fills my heart with joy

If you don't play that trumpet

Lord, who's gonna make all that noise

Bubba plays the tuba every Sunday at the church

Play that thing for so long babe

Sometimes his lips, they hurt

Now keep playing that thing Bubba

Fills my heart with joy

If you don't play that tuba

Lord, who's gonna make all that noise

Raymond is the drummer, sloppy as can be

Mama plays the organ like the 7th symphony

Papa plays the guitar, sometimes play the bass

And you can tell he's happy from the smile upon his face

Then there's little Liza who plays the tambourine

Sometimes play a smile

But mostly plays it mean

Keep playing that thing Liza

Fills my heart with joy

If you don't play that tambourine

Lord, whose gonna make all that noise

If you don't play that trumpet

Lord, whose gonna make all that noise

If you don't play that tuba

Lord, whose gonna make all that noise

C'mon and play that tambourine.
