Song by Irving Berlin
Title:
Album:
Lyrics:
[Verse:] 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 [Refrain:] 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" [2nd refrain:] 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 [Patter:] 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
