Berlin Irving
Follow The Fleet (1936)
I'd Rather Lead A Band
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 Napolean and climbed in my lap
I'd say, Go
back
to
Nap
I'd rather lead a band
