Loudon Wainwright III
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 I'm rich as old Croesus My every care ceases 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 Oh, a saxophone, a slide trombone A bass fiddle and a drum A guy at the piano Who makes it hum A violin, yeah a clarinet A hot trumpet and guitar And me with the baton And there you are I'm touched like King Midas You don't dare deny us We've rhythm inside us This Band If Josephine had left Napoleon And climbed in my lap I'd say go back to Nap I'd rather lead a band
