《I’d Rather Lead A Band》歌词

[00:00:00] I'd Rather Lead A Band - Fred Astaire/Coleman Hawkins (柯曼·霍金斯)/Slam Stewart (斯莱姆·斯图尔特)

[00:00:12] I haven't ambitions for lofty positions

[00:00:17] That wind up with the wealth of the land

[00:00:20] I'll give you the throne that a king sat on

[00:00:23] For just a small baton

[00:00:26] Providing you included a band

[00:00:30] If I could be the wealthy owner of a large industry

[00:00:34] I would say

[00:00:35] Not for me

[00:00:36] I'd rather lead a band

[00:00:39] If I could be a politician

[00:00:41] With a chance to dictate

[00:00:43] I would say

[00:00:44] Let it wait

[00:00:45] I'd rather lead a band

[00:00:48] My ev'ry care ceases

[00:00:50] I'm rich as old Croesus

[00:00:52] When I've got ten pieces in hand

[00:00:57] If I could have a millionairess

[00:00:58] With a whole flock of banks

[00:01:00] I would just whisper thanks

[00:01:02] I'd rather lead a band

[00:01:07] Oh a saxophone a slide trombone

[00:01:12] A bass fiddle and a drum

[00:01:16] A guy at the piano

[00:01:17] Who makes it hum

[00:01:23] A violin a clarinet

[00:01:28] A hot trumpet and guitar

[00:01:32] And me with the baton

[00:01:33] And there you are

[00:02:18] Alright boys

[00:02:18] Rehearsal tomorrow

[00:02:19] At ten
