  			The Band Played On 

G 
Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde 
          D 
And the band played on 

He'd glide cross the floor with the girl he adored 
        G 
And the band played on 
                      D          G7       C 
But his brain was so loaded it nearly exploded 
      Am 
The poor girl would shake in alarm 
       C                           G         Em 
He'd never leave the girl with the strawberry curls 
         A7   D7     G 
And the band played on
