Fred Astaire - I'd Rather Lead A Band lyrics

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
