The Leader Of The Band 1935 Vs2

I fell in love on a lovely night in June
and thought that my romance had come to stay.
I planned a dream house,
and lovely honeymoon,
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 I 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 hhis 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've never 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 highbrow 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 photo's 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 bet your life on that
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 hhis 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
