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

"When You Walked Out Someone Else Walked Right In"

どちらもあまり耳にしない曲のようなのですが、特に後者はそのようで、曲情報を探し出せませんでした。
"Everybody Knew But Me" はダイナ・ショアが1945年に初録音しています。

[Verse:]
Love sees ev'rything right but love can be blind
I've seen things with my heart instead of my mind
Love sees ev'rything high when ev'rything's low
And the first to be hurt is the last one to know
[Refrain:]
Ev'rybody knew but me
You were longing to be free
I thought that I was in clover but my dreams were over
And ev'rybody knew but me
We were in a minor key
We were bound to disagree
And ev'rybody saw the things that I was too much in love to see
You were getting thru and ev'rybody knew but me

[1st verse:]
My honey, do you remember 'twas a December day
I said that you would repent the day that you went away
You turned as red as a ruby, much too good to be true
You thought I'd sit around lonely thinking of only you
Little you knew that
[Refrain:]
When you walked out someone else walked right in
Someone with good news
Stepped right in your shoes
Somebody else took your place on my knee
Another sweetie in clover fussin' all over me
I saw that you grew so cold, love
So what could I do?
Off with the old love
And on with the new
When you walked out
Honey I just had to grin
You left the door wide open and
Somebody else walked in
[2nd verse:]
A happy couple were we two while you were sweet to me
But now I'm sending bad news to my little used to be
You thought the minute you'd shake me that it would make me blue
And I would sit around lonely thinking of only you
Little you knew that

"You're Easy To Dance With"
I could dance nightly just holding you tightly my sweet
I could keep right on because you're so light on youre feet
You're easy to dance with
There is no doubt in the way we stand out in the crowd
Though it's called dancing to me it's romancing out loud
You're easy to dance with
Loving you the away I do makes you easy to dance with
That is why I'm always right on the beat
All those charms in one man's arms makes you easy to dance with
I can hardly keep my mind on my feet
Let's dance forever come on say we'll never be through
It's so easy to dance with you
Loving you the away I do makes you easy to dance with
That is why I'm always right on the beat
All those charms in one man's arms makes you easy to dance with
I can hardly keep my mind on my feet
So let's dance forever come on say we'll never be through
It's so easy to dance with you
"It Only Happens When I Dance With You"
It only happens when I dance with you
That trip to heaven till the dance is through
With no one else do the heavens seem quite so near
Why does it happen, dear, only with you?
Two cheeks together can be so divine
But only when those cheeks are yours and mine
I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through
But the thrill that comes with spring when anything can happen

The roses each one
Met with the sun
Sweetheart when I met you
The sunshine had fled
The roses were dead
Sweetheart when I lost you
I lost the sunshine and roses
I lost the heavens of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow
I lost the morning dew
I lost the angel who gave me
Summer, the whole winter through
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness
When I lost you
The birds ceased their song
Right turned to wrong
Sweetheart when I lost you
A day turned to years
The world seemed in tears
Sweetheart when I lost you
