charles b. ward – the band played on lyrics

(verse 1)
matt casey formed a social club that beat the town for style
and hired for a meeting place a hall
when payday came around each week, they greased the floor with wax
and danced with noise and vigor at the ball
each sat+rday you’d see them dressed up in sunday clothes
each lad would have his sweetheart by his side
when casey led the first grand march they all would fall in line
behind the man who was their joy and pride

(chorus)
for casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde
and the band played on
he’d glidе ‘cross the floor with the girl he adorеd
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 curls
and the band played on

(verse 2)
such kissing in the corner and such whisp’ring in the hall
and telling tales of love behind the stars
as casey was the favorite and he that ran the ball
of kissing and lovemaking did his share
at 12 o’clock exactly they all would fall in line
and march down to the dining hall and eat
but casey would not join them although everything was fine
but he stayed upstairs and exercise his feet
(chorus)
for casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde
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 curls
and the band played on

(verse 3)
now when the dance was over and the band played “home sweet home”
they played a tune at casey’s own request
he thanked them very kindly for the favors they had shown
then he’d waltz once with the girl that he loved best
most all the friends are married that casey used to know
and casey too has taken him a wife
the blond he used to glide with on the ballroom floor
is mrs. casey now for life

(chorus)
for casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde
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 curls
and the band played on
