lyrics to old song revealed!

[petsd!peora!jer@topaz.rutgers.edu]

A few days ago, I posted a query in net.music asking for the words to
"And the Band Played On".  Finally someone sent them to me.  It turns out
there's not much to them... certainly not like Kate Bush.  Songs from that
era seem to have been mostly lyrically vacuous.

Here it is, anyhow.

I think that "And the Band Played On" is simply -

	Casey would waltz with the strawberry blonde
	And the band played on.
	He'd waltz with the girl with the strawberry curl
	And the band played on.
	His head was so loaded, it nearly exploded;
	The poor girl, she shook with alarm.
	He'd waltz with the girl with the strawberry curl
	And the band played on.

And that's it.
