Id 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 I could have a millionairess with a whole flock of banks
I would just whisper «Thanks
I’d rather lead a band»
Give me a band, yes sir
And not a thing lesser
To be that professor
Is grand
If Josephine had left Napoleon and climbed in my lap
I’d say, «Go back to Nap»
I’d rather lead a band
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 guitar
And me with the baton and there you are
