Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash

As we fell into the sun,

And the first one said to the second one there

I hope you're having fun.
G C Em A
Band on the run, band on the run.

And the jailer man and sailor Sam

Were searching every one

For the band on the run, band on the run

Seeing no one else had come,

And a bell was ringing in the village square

For the rabbits on the run.

Band on the run, band on the run.

In the town they're searching for us every where

But we never will be found.

Band on the run, band on the run.

And the county judge who held a grudge
F F F
Will search for ever more
