I'd Rather Lead a Band - Fred Astaire
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 every 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
Oh 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 GU
