[5th salesman]

[3rd salesman]
he’s a what?

[2nd salesman]
he’s a music man and he sells clarinets
to the kids in the town with the big trombones
and the rat*a*tat drums, big brass bass, big brass bass
and the piccolo, the piccolo with uniforms, too
with a shiny gold braid on the coat and a big red stripe runnin’…

[1st salesman]
well, i don’t know much about bands but i do know
you can’t make a living selling big trombones, no sir
mandolin picks, perhaps and here and there a jew’s harp…

[2nd salesman]
no, the fellow sells bands, boys’ bands
i don’t know how he does it but he lives like a king
and he dallies and he gathers and he plucks and he shines
and when the man dances certainly, boys, what else?
the piper pays him! yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir
when the man dances, certainly, boys, what else?
the piper pays him

[all]
yessssir, yessssir

[charlie]
but he doesn’t know the territory
