Kenny Gardner & The Leonard Trio (with Guy Lombardo & His Orchestra)

Also recorded by : Danny Barrett; The Jesters.


(Solo)
CASEY WOULD WALTZ WITH A STRAWBERRY BLONDE,
AND THE BAND PLAYED ON!
HE'D GLIDE CROSS THE FLOOR WITH THE GIRL HE ADOR'D,
AND THE BAND PLAYED ON!
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!
