The Band Played On
HUGO FREY, JOHN F PALMER, CHARLES B WARD
Casey would waltz
With the strawberry blond,
And the band played on.
He'd glide 'cross the floor
With the girl he adored,
And the band played on.
But his brain was so loaded
It nearly exploded,
The poor girl would
shake with alarm
He'd ne'er leave the girl
With the strawberry curl,
And the band played on.
