Lyrics
You can always hear them when you’re forlorn
The muffled drum and the muted horn
Don’t despair, the vict’ry is being planned
Hold your courage high in your hand
When you feel like running, just stand, and
Refrain
Face the music, when you’ve got trouble
Face it! face it!
And you’ll chase it far away
Just face the music
You’ll make your worry hurry scurry
Not a care will dare to stay
The drums are drumming, you should be humming
Joy is coming, coming for to make you gay
So, blow the trumpet! Bang the cymbal
When they start to play, face the music
When there’s music, ev’ry day’s a happy day
