Here are the complete lyrics, in the correct order: Here they come with the sunlight on the trumpets. Here they come with the banners flying high. In my throat I've a lumpy sort of feeling, And the bright gleam of pride is in my eye. Here they come with the clarinets a-wailing. Here they come rather bravely up the square, And I know in a moment I'll be cheering, And my fine Sunday hat will be high in the air For the New Ashmolean Marching Society and Students Conservatory Band. Yes the New Ashmolean Could have beat Napoleon With all those deadly instruments at hand There are those who favor the philharmonic flavor But to me the finest in the land Is the New Ashmolean Marching Society and Students Conservatory Band. Though they march only slightly out of tempo Though they play just a trifle out of tune Though there's just a suggestion in the oboe Of the sound of a hound beneath the moon Though the trombone's a little independent And the drummer is not exactly choice Still the old college spirit is upon me And I shout every time at the top of my voice For the New Ashmolean Marching Society and Students Conservatory Band. If you're analytical Sensitive or critical You'll like it more the farther back you stand But to me it's bully, it satisfies me fully When I hear that thunder close at hand From the New Ashmolean Marching Society and Students Conservatory Band.
