Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (D major) (G major) I
(G minor) haven't
(C major) ambitions for (F major) lofty (E flat major) positions
(D major) That wind up with the wealth of the (G major) land
I'd (D major) give you the (G major) throne
that a king (C major) sat on
(F major) For just a (E flat major) small baton
(A major) Provid (D major) ing you included the band
If I could be the wealthy owner
of (G major) a large (A major) industry,
I (D major) would (G major) say, not for me,
(A major) I'd (D major) rather lead (G major) a band. (D major)
If I could be a politician
with (G major) a chance (E major) to dictate, (A major)
(D major) I would say, (C major) let it wait, (D major)
I'd rather lead (G major) a band. (D major) (G minor)
My (F sharp major) every care (C major) ceases,
(G minor) I'm (G major) rich as (G minor) old creases,
when I've got ten pieces (E flat major) in hand. (D major)
If I could be a millionairess
with (G major) a whole flock (D major) of bank (A minor) s,
I (D major) would just whisper thank (A minor) s,
I'd (D major) rather lead a band. (G major) (E flat major) (D major)
(G minor) Saxophone, (E flat major) a slide (G minor) trombone, (D major)
(E flat major) a bass fiddle an (D major) d a drum,
(C minor) a guy at (C major) the piano who makes it hum, (G minor)
a violin, (E flat major) a (G minor) clarinet, (E flat major)
(D major) a (G minor) hot trum (E flat major) pet an (G minor) d guitar,
and me with a (C major) baton, and there you are.
Ba ba da ba (D major) da ba ba da ba day
Ba da (C major) ba boo ba da da day
(G minor) Come, (D major) get together
Let the dance floor feel your leather
Stuffed (A major) as lightly as a feather
Let (D major) yourself go (G minor)
(A major) Come, (D major) hit the timber
Loosen up and start to limber
Can't (A major) you hear that hot marimba?
Let (D major) yourself go
Let (G major) yourself go (A major)
(D major) Relax, let yourself go
(A major) Re (G major) lax, (D major) you've (G minor) got
yourself tied up in a knot
The (C major) night is cold, but the (B flat minor) music's hot,
so (D major) come (A major) a (D major) -cuddle closer
Don't you dare to (A major) an swer no, sir
Put your banker, clerk, and grocer,
let (D major) yourself go
As you listen to the band,
don't you get a bubble (E minor)
(C major) As you listen to them play,
don't you get a glow
(G minor) Give (F sharp major) me a (C major) band, (Edim) yes sir,
(G minor) and not a thing lesser
To be that (C major) profess (E flat#dim) or is (E flat major) grand
(D major) It's (E flat major) grand, (E major) a (F minor) saxophone,
a slide trombone,
(C major) a bass fiddle and a drum,
a guy at piano who (F minor) makes it hum,
a violin, a clarinet,
(C major) a hot trumpet and guitar,
and me with a (C sharp major) bat on,
and (F minor) there you are.
(B flat major) Loosen up and start to (B flat#dim) limber,
can't (B flat major) you hear that (B flat#dim) hot marimba?
(B flat major) Don't you dare to (Bdim) an swer no sir,
butcher, (B flat major) banker,
(Bdim) clerk and grocer and (G major) me! (D major) (G minor)
(C major) I'd rather lead (F minor) a band! (F minor)
