The Blue Bulgarian Band 1910 "The King Of Cadonia"

When I became a lady
by marrying my Prince,
the entertainments that I gave
made all my fam'ly wince,
I want to make more noise though
on Coronation day,
I think I'll hire a band, my dears
that seems the proper way,
Yes let us greet our gracious King
if back he ever comes,
The Blue Bulgarian Band will play
"God save the King" on drums.

Oh the Blue Bulgarian Band
there is nothing quite so grand,
Big Bassoon and little Oboe,
clarinet and Piccolo,
start you on the go,
first you feel it in your feet,
then your heart begins to beat,
when the little side drum
goes rumtititum,
and the Big Bass drum goes, Boom,
in the Blue Bulgarian Band.

Oh the Blue Bulgarian Band
there is nothing quite so grand,
Big Bassoon and little Oboe,
clarinet and Piccolo,
start you on the go,
first you feel it in your feet,
then your heart begins to beat,
when the little side drum
goes rumtititum,
and the Big Bass drum goes, Boom,
in the Blue Bulgarian Band.

Once more I'm in the circus
when music strikes my ears,
all life's a circus
where the clowns are married men, my dears,
Again I'm on the tighttope,
with men upon my string,
we'll play that on the violins,
that seems the proper thing,
The Blue Bulgarian Band
will greet our good King if he comes,
and play for him
a "Hot Time in The Old Town" on the drums.

Oh the Blue Bulgarian Band
there is nothing quite so grand,
Big Bassoon and little Oboe,
clarinet and Piccolo,
start you on the go,
first you feel it in your feet,
then your heart begins to beat,
when the little side drum
goes rumtititum,
and the Big Bass drum goes, Boom,
in the Blue Bulgarian Band.

Oh the Blue Bulgarian Band
there is nothing quite so grand,
Big Bassoon and little Oboe,
clarinet and Piccolo,
start you on the go,
first you feel it in your feet,
then your heart begins to beat,
when the little side drum
goes rumtititum,
and the Big Bass drum goes, Boom,
in the Blue Bulgarian Band.
