Johnny Strikes Up The Band Lyrics

Cover art for Johnny Strikes Up The Band lyrics by Warren Zevon

I think it's a hybrid with elements of the Tonight Show, but mainly taking his son for a walk and seeing life and music outside.

"Dry your eyes my little friend Let me take you by the hand."

He and his son are on a walk: "Look around my little friend Jubilation in the land."

I think it has a lot of emotion in it.

My Interpretation

No, it's about a drug dealer.
