letra de the best god damn band in wyoming - no-no boy
the best god d-mn band in wyoming lyrics
[verse 1]
the flyer read, “musicians needed!”
so young yone grabbed his silver mouthpiece
tracked down a kid who brought a trumpet to pomona
let yone have it on a free two-year lease
joy teraoka née takesh-ta
went to the tryout, she was only 16
with some girlfriends to cheer her on, their club was called the radelles
mom said, “if you keep up with school, joy, you can sing.”
george igawa, og nisei
he toured up the coast and even played j-pan
before thе war, they ripped up the florida ballroom
man, don’t sleep on thosе sho-tokyans
[chorus]
under starlight they danced behind barbed wire
under the mountain, it meant something to sing
stuck between two countries in a fire
the best god d-mn band in wyoming
[verse 2]
little tets bessho rep’d the kardiacs gang
the clarinet kid, the “nisei artie shaw,”
stopped by rehearsal in a tar paper barrack
once he joined up, sister, it was on
they practiced daily, gigged on the weekend
stirring up those dusty mess halls
teenage bodies unchained from their parents
man, them old folks, they really lost it all
the only swing band left in wyoming
that got ʼem out some nights until dawn
war bond drives in powell, mormons dancing in lovell
a bunch of “j-ps” playing jazz at the thermopolis prom
[chorus]
under machine guns they danced behind barbed wire
at below zero, it meant something to sing
angelenos mixing up with farm kids in the choir
the best god d-mn band in wyoming
[verse 3]
george igawa, he split for chicago
with kimiko in the fall of ’44
he left the band to tets, joy went with her family to dc
as for yone, he had to join the war
and that’s the story from old heart mountain
and the best band you never did see
locked up in prison camps for no f-ckin’ reason
but they still found a reason to sing
[outro]
the best god d-mn band in wyoming
the best
god d-mn band in wyoming
the best
god d-mn band in wyoming
the best
god d-mn band in wyoming
