Just Wanna Be in Your Band| Sounds like Kenny Rogers. |
|
| We Cmet in Sante Fe where she ran a small cafe, |
| The first time we kissed my heart went G7thud, |
| Like a mouth fulla nothin', but it tasted just like heaven, |
| It sounded like a cow pullin' its foot out of the Cmud. |
| Well I helped her bake a puddin', it was finger-lickin' good, |
| And I thought that maybe some day C7she'd become my Fwife, |
| She hollered from the kitchen, "Kenny, Cwould you trust the chicken?" |
| I said, "Of G7course I would, my darlin', with my Clife." |
|
| I Fswear to God I only wanna Clove you, |
| And I Fpromise you that other men ain't Cbanned, |
| Well FI don't mind playin' second Cfiddle, oh my Fdarlin', |
| CI just wanna G7be in your Cband. |
|
| This Coil man from the west, he as sure as hell impressed, |
| My little shy, my little sensitive G7waif, |
| He said, "I've so many gold teeth that I sleep |
| Every night with my head in a Csafe!" |
| He said, "There's four hundred dollars if you come with me, darlin', |
| To my motel," it was C7quite unexFpected. |
| But she didn't fret and she Cwasn't upset, |
| She just G7kept cool, calm, and colClected! |
|
| But FI'm content to be the one you Crun to, |
| When you Fneed someone to hold your Chand. |
| FI don't mind playin' second Cfiddle, oh my Fdarlin', |
| CI just wanna G7be in your Cband. |
|
| Now this CEnglishman and this Aussie came in and started gettin' bossy, |
| Then this French guy says, "Hey, you come G7here. |
| Have you got frog's legs?" I said, "Oui!" He said, "Right, now let me see |
| You hop over the bar and get me a glass of Cbeer!" |
| Then she walked through the door, they just stood there in awe, |
| I'm sure they'd never C7seen a more beautiful Fsight. |
| The Austrailian said, "By golly!" the CEnglishman said, "By George!" |
| And the G7Frenchman said, "By tomorrow Cnight." |
|
| FWhy d'you need to have so many Clovers? |
| It's Fsomething I will never underCstand. |
| But FI don't mind playin' second Cfiddle, oh my Fdarlin', |
| CI just wanna G7be in your Cband. |
|
| She said, "CKenny, you've got a friendly face, and your heart's in the right place, |
| It's a pity that the rest of you is G7not. |
| But you love me, or so I'm told, but would you love me if I got old, |
| And like a fool I said, "If you got 'old of Cwhat?" |
| She went off with George and Bill, she took the money from the till, |
| And 'goodbye' was the C7only word she Fsaid. |
| I pray that she'll come back again, I haven't Cslept a week since then, |
| 'Cause G7when she went away she took the Cbed. |
|
| (slowly) |
| But I Flearned to play love's violin when CI was young, |
| And FI've known many lovely ladies in this Cland, |
| But Ftill the day I die, I Cnever will know Fwhy, |
| She never Conce let me G7play in her Cband. |
