Some folks look down on
Working with your hands.
You'll never find them playing in the band.
My Dad had the best time
Working with his hands.
Maybe that's why we're all
Playing in the band.
Find your own rhythm.
Make your own band.
Join yourself to the harmony of
Music made by hand.

My Dad spent his whole life
Working with his hands.
He never had a day job,
He was playing in the band.
He sat behind a set of drums
Working with his hands.
He went ...............................
Playing in the band.
Find your own rhythm.
Make your own band.
Join yourself to the harmony of
Music made by hand.

I can see him now under the lights
Working with his hands.
Driving that big band through the night
Playing in the band.
Well he never made much money
Working with his hands.
But he found his own music
Playing in the band.
Find your own rhythm.
Make your own band.
Join yourself to the harmony of
Music made by hand.

Some folks look down on
Working with your hands.
You'll never find them
Playing in the band.
My Dad had the most fun
Working with his hands.
And here I am, my father’s son,
Playing in the band.
Find your own rhythm.
Make your own band.
Join yourself to the harmony of
Music made by hand.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Join The Jubilee CD.
