Berlin Irving Miscellaneous Lead Me To That Beautiful Band (18 Apr 1912) ["By E. Ray Goetz and Irving Berlin".] [1st verse:] Dear, lend an ear to the finest music in the land You'd better hurry and take a hand I want to linger beside that grandstand band, and Hon', better run, just because I hear them tuning up I'm kind of hungry myself, but we'll be late So please don't wait to sup Oh, hurry up! I just kind of think that I'd rather drink From a musical cup [Chorus:] Just hear that slide trombone a-blowin' for me Just hear those sweet cornets all goin' for me Hear the piccoloer pick a melody See the clarionetter clarionetting me Hear that cello moan, moan Say what you may, but the way he plays that violin Shows when he bows that he knows he throws his feelings in Come, come Honey, they're goin' some Drum, drum Lead me, lead me to that beautiful band [2nd verse:] Dear, it's a year since you took your baby to a show I'm not complaining a bit, oh no! I'm only telling you that you're oh, so slow, beau I'm worth a dime, so come on, don't worry 'bout the fare We'll take some dinner along in first class style And eat it while we're there I'll eat my share You'll be there all right with an appetite Like a grizzly bear
