Louis’ Trumpet

When Louis plays trumpet,
people smile.

When Louis plays trumpet,
people stop a while.

In the tube of his trumpet,
the announcement’s being made.

In the tube of his trumpet,
a man’s elegy is played.

When Louis plays trumpet,
people don’t nap.

When Louis plays trumpet,
people get up and clap.

In the tube of his trumpet,
the battle is won.

In the tube of his trumpet,
the battle’s going on.
