The Leader of The Band.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

I fell in love on a lovely night in June,
And thought that my romance had come to stay.

I plann'd a dream house, and lovely honey~moon,
But I guess it wasn't meant to be that way,

It seems that I'm a real unlucky guy,
Oh why, oh why, oh why, must it be I?

She used to love me, until I took her to a dance,
She used to love me, but now I've lost my big romance,

She was a good girl, and I can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

She fell completely, she had to have his autograph,
And very sweetly, she handed me the horse's laugh,

She was a good girl, and I can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

She said: "Wait for me." I lit a cigarette,
If I'd waited there, I'd have been waiting yet!

I'm broken~hearted, now music only makes me wince,
We never parted, because I haven't seen her since,

She was a good girl, and I can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

She loves his music,
She loves his rhythm and his swing,
Without his music, the B.B.C. don't mean a thing.

She's such a nice girl, and we can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

She listens daily, and she's been doing it for years,
But his announcements are simply all she ever hears.

She's such a nice girl, and we can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

Once she used to love a high~brow music man,
But that's over now, 'Cos she's a rhythm fan.

I'll bet she'd know him if she should meet him face to face,
'Cos in her bedroom his photos are all around the place.

She's such a nice girl, and we can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

Each night she knows that her idol's on the air,
She parks herself beside the radio,

Nobody moves her you can bet on your life,
Because if they did she'd tell them where to go.

She listens with such rapture in her eyes,
And sits and sighs and sighs and sighs and sighs.

She used to love me, until I took her to a dance,
She used to love me, but now I've lost my big romance,

She was a good girl, and I can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

She fell completely, she had to have his autograph,
And very sweetly, she handed me the horse's laugh,

She was a good girl, and I can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

She said: "Wait for me." I lit a cigarette,
If I'd waited there, I'd have been waiting yet!

I'm broken~hearted, now music only makes me wince,
We never parted, because I haven't seen her since,

She was a good girl, and I can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

She loves his music,
She loves his rhythm and his swing,
Without his music, the B.B.C. don't mean a thing.

She's such a nice girl, and we can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

She listens daily, and she's been doing it for years,
But his announcements are simply all she ever hears.

She's such a nice girl, and we can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?

Once she used to love a high~brow music man,
But that's over now, 'Cos she's a rhythm fan.

I'll bet she'd know him if she should meet him face to face,
'Cos in her bedroom his photos are all around the place.

She's such a nice girl, and we can never understand,
Why did she fall for the Leader of the Band?
