"The Band Played On"
Casey would waltz with the strawberry blond,
And the band played on;
He'd glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored,
And the band played on;
But his brain was so loaded, it nearly exploded,
The poor girl would shake with alarm;
He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curl,
And the band played on.
