Select language to translate this lyric
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
