Fred Astaire - I`D Rather Lead A Band слова песни
I haven`t ambitions for lofty positions
That wind up with the wealth of the land
I`ll give you the throne that a king sat on
For just a small baton
Providing you included a band
If I could be the wealthy owner of a large industry
I would say, "Not for me"
I`d rather lead a band
If I could be a politician with a chance to dictate
I would say, "Let it wait"
I`d rather lead a band
My ev`ry care ceases
I`m rich as old Croesus
When I`ve got ten pieces
In hand
If I could have a millionairess with a whole flock of banks
I would just whisper "Thanks"
I`d rather lead a band
(::2nd chorus:::)
Give me a band, yes sir
And not a thing lesser
To be that professor
Is grand
If Josephine had left Napoleon and climbed in my lap
I`d say, "Go back to Nap"
I`d rather lead a band
(::patter:::)
A saxophone, a slide trombone
A bass fiddle and a drum
A guy at the piano who makes it hum
A violin, a clarinet
A hot trumpet and guitar
And me with the baton and there you are
