Lyrics
A-roompa-pa, seek-a-roo! A-roompa-pa, seek-a-roo!
A-roompa-pa, seek-a-roo! That's the way they go
Three brothers down in Rio had a noisy family trio
Three piccolos that sounded mighty shrill
Their papa called it music, so with his dough they planned
The big brass band from Brazil
Then soon they sent to Cuba for some trumpets and a tuba
They figured that their relatives had skill
Papa's ears are stuffed with cotton, but he still thinks they're grand
The big brass band from Brazil
Oh, they practice all night long
But they've only learned one song
So they play that same old phrase
Forty-seven different ways
A-roompa-pa, seek-a-roo! A-roompa-pa, seek-a-roo!
A-roompa-pa, seek-a-roo! Give the boys a hand
There's first and second cousins and there's uncles by the dozens
They play as long as Papa pays the bills
And it's getting more expensive each time that they expand
The big brass band from Brazil
With cymbals and maracas, they were hot as firecrackers
The night they played that concert on the hill
And they made it more exciting by crashing through the stand
The big brass band from Brazil
Oh, they practice all night long
But they've only learned one song
They don't need their drums at all
When the neighbors bang the wall
They've caused a big sensation as they played across the nation
As long as something's different, it's a thrill
And to keep Brazilian friendship, the critics never pan
The big brass band from Brazil
Oh, they practice all night long
But they've only learned one song
People say that they'd be through
If they practiced something new
A-roompa-pa, seek-a-roo! A-roompa-pa, seek-a-roo!
A-roompa-pa, seek-a-roo! Give the boys a hand
The big brass band from Brazil
