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 every 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 Oh, 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 Alright boys Rehearsal tomorrow At ten
