Lyrics:
A sleepy Sunday, cooped up inside
Tappin' fingers on the tabletop
Just watchin' how the sun goes wanderin' by
So let's raid the kitchen, grab all we can get
Then take my hand and join me in my best idea yet
Let's start a band, let's start a band
I bet that all these instruments could use an extra hand
Let's start a band, let's start a band
And write a song that only we will understand
The ideas are flowin', notes fill up the page
Our stuffies are our audience and the countertop's our stage
We'll write a catchy ditty or a meaningful lament
Our cat will be our meownager and we'll owe him ten percent
Let's start a band, let's start a band
Sing it loud, don't worry if it don't come out as planned
Let's start a band, let's start a band
And write a song that only we will understand
We don't need a drumset, we can bang on pans and pots
Blow into this bottle and let's see what sound we've got
Hold two spoons together and then knock 'em on your knee
I'll do my best to whistle up a brand new melody
Alright, c'mon!
And one day we'll become big stars
And eat nice meals in fancy cars
But right now in this kitchen I'm content
So let's play our songs and sing 'em loud
Oh won't our family be so proud
When our platinum-selling album pays the rent
