Id Rather Lead A Band

歌曲歌詞

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 makes it hum

A violin a clarinet

A hot trumpet and guitar

And me with the baton

And there you are

Alright boys

Rehearsal tomorrow

At ten
