Oh, yeah! The man who makes the music
sha-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la!
The man who makes the music
sha-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la!
He makes you sing, he makes you dance
any time he starts to play!
He plays the tambourin-o, the drums and piccolino
the tuba and the trumpet, the oboe and the flute.
He plays the violin-o beneath his double chin-o
he plays the concertino, the bugle and the lute
The man who makes the music
sha-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la!
The man who makes the music
sha-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la!
He makes you sing, he makes you dance
any time he starts to play!
He plays the mandolin-o, the drums and ocarino
the cymbals and the organ, the saxophone and harp.
(He opens up his case-o and plays the double bass-o.
He loves the concertino but plays it very sharp)
(instrumental break)
(Sha-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!)
(instrumental break)
(Sha-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
He makes you sing, he makes you dance
any time he starts to play!)
The tinker and the taylor, the soldier and the sailor
the butcher and the baker are dancing in the square.
The music that he's playing has everybody swaying.
The man who makes the music is welcome everywhere!
The man who makes the music
sha-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la!
The man who makes the music

He makes you sing, he makes you dance
any time he starts to play!
He makes you sing, he makes you dance
any time he starts to play! Ah!
