Lyrics I'd Rather Lead A Band - Fred Astaire , Ginger Rogers
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
