WWWHHOOoooeee!
They're back again!
The Fra Fra Sound
All colors and creations
In the midst of a rainbow
Reveling beneath an umbrella
Of rhythms and harmony
Drums beating
Strings vibrating
The melodic coruscating of
Horns
Voicing
The music makers are filling
The universe with ecstasy
Listen!
Why those are the sounds of
The band swinging sending
Souls into the Global Village
Of love and peacefulness
WWWHHHOOOoooeee!
And it keeps on swinging
