==Lyrics==
All:
Come hear the genuine 
Come hear the genuine
The one and only 
The one and only
Come hear the hullabaloo, tickety boom, 
Tweedle dee dee, plinkety plink
Better get ready to hear 
And better get ready to cheer
The one and only, genuine, original family band
Grandpa:
Play it loud!
Calvin:
Play it proud!
Katie:
For together here we stand
All:
The one and only, genuine, original family band
Calvin:
Come hear the hullabaloo of our tuba
Hear the tickety boom of our drum
Hear the tweedle dee dee of our woodwind
Hear our plinkety plinking banjo strum
And when the razzamatazz of our brasses
Begins to pizazz in the air something grand
All:
Better get ready to hear
And better get ready to cheer
The one and only, genuine, original family band
Katie:
We can play with virtuosity
Waltzes, marches, polkas, and mazurkas 
Alice:
We can play them sentimentally
Or just like the music of the circus
All:
And when the razzamatazz of our brasses
Begins to pizazz in the air something grand
Better get ready to hear
And better get ready to cheer
The one and only, one and only, one and only, one and only,
One and only, genuine, original, original family band.
