The Band Played On

G
Casey would waltz with the strawberry blonde

D7
And the band played on.

He'd glide 'cross the floor with the girl he'd adore

G
And the band played on

G                                  D7          G7           C
But his brain was so loaded it nearly exploded

        Am                   E        Am
The poor girl would shake with a - larm

          Gdim                   G                   E7
He'd never leave the girl with the strawberry curl

   A7    D7        G    Gdim Am7 D7
And the band played on.
