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 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
