I'd Rather Lead A Band Lyrics

I haven't ambitions
For lofty positions
That wind up with the wealth of the land
I'll give you the throne that a king sat on

My ev'ry care ceases
I'm rich as old Croesus
When I've got ten pieces
In hand

If Josephine had left Napolean and climbed in my lap
I'd say, "Go back to Nap"
I'd rather lead a band
