The music starts, now here we go
The BOOM and CRASH of a percussion show
The staccato beat of Clap! Clap! Clap!
I hold my hands clasped tight in my lap
Now the pyrotechnics begin
And oh! How I widen my grin
The sights and sounds all around
So breathtakingly lovely, they confound
The show slows to a waltz pace
Tears are streaming down my face
With the beat, I sway and bend
One last crescendo, then the show ends
