(from "Follow the Fleet") |
|
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 Josephine had left Napoleon and climbed in my lap |
|
I'd say, "Go back to Nap" |
|
I'd rather lead a band |
|
If I could have a millionairess with a whole flock of banks |
|
I would just whisper "Thanks" |
|
I'd rather lead a band |
