I smile like Herbert Hoover when they play I dream of banker's daughters, better days
Care to dance my lady Live near here? They certainly sound in fine form, do you care?
I am quite partial Broke, spent, I still marshall (all my strenght when big bands play)
Follow me my lady to my home See my large collection, some on loan
Of every big band record ever made I had to sell my heater, so don't shake
I am quite partial Broke, spent, I still marshal all my strength when big bands blare
I smile like Herbert Hoover when the big bands play I dream of banker's daughters, better days
For I am quite partial Broke, spent, I marshal all my strength when big bands play
Knowing of their flare for filling empty stomachs, empty hearts, they're not so far apart, they're not so far apart And if you can't sleep late one night, It's not your coffee, it's the bunk
I am quite partial Broke, spent, I still marshall all my strength
I smile like Herbert Hoover when the big bands play I frequent the dance halls most every night into the day I know the name of every trombone player that exists They don't know I used to blow before the Crash had hit our land
