THE TIN CAN BAND By Margaret Mahy

Oh, the tin can band,

Oh, the tin can band!

It’s the dinniest band

In the big bright land.

It’s a sing-song band, it’s a bing-bong band,

It’s a miss-a-beat, have-a-treat, skippyfeet band.

As we march along with our pots and pans,

And we bing and bong on our old tin cans.

We’re a-singing and a-songing to the

binging and the bonging.

We’re escaping and a-skipping out

On every hand.

And it sounds like a battle

When our tin cans rattle,

When our tin cans rattle

And our tin cans clang.

Yes, it’s sounding like the prattle and the

tattle of a battle

Like a merry monster cannon going

BANG, BANG, BANG!

Though silence falls when the band goes by,

And the street is bare to the hills and sky,

There’s a nitter and a natter,

And a tiny tinny patter,

Like a whisper (only crisper)

Like a tin toy’s sigh,

And a flutter like a mutter,

Like a sunny sort of stutter,

Going giggling down the gutter

Where the funny echoes die.
