[Verse]
NC D D#dim7 Em9 A7
Well, You've heard about the alligators sleepin' in the shade
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
You've heard about the sugar barons screwin' up the 'glades,
D D7 G Bb7 A7
It's a melting pot existence That is hard to contemplate And a never ending
battle
A7
in the Sunshine State.
[Verse]
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
But far, far away from the front page news,
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
Far, far away from the headline blues,
D D7 G Bb7 A7
Down a secondary road that severely shows its age The forties comes to life
A7
on a make-shift stage.
[Chorus]
D D#dim7 Em7 A7
It's the Bob Roberts Society Band.
F#m7 B7 Em7 A7
Playing every Sunday at the Orange Grove Stand.
D D7 G Bb7
They don't play grunge and they don't play loud.
A7
It's the magic of the music that still draws a crowd.
[Verse]
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
Well, the word goes out From Melbourne to the Keys.
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
The faithful get the message Like it's written on the breeze.
D D7 G Bb7 A7
Young folks, old folks, 'Bout to cut a rug.Fox Trot, Bunny Hop, Do the Jitterbug,
[Chorus]
D D#dim7 Em7 A7
It's the Bob Roberts Society Band.
F#m7 B7 Em7 A7
Playing every Sunday at the Orange Grove Stand.
D D7 G Bb7
They don't play grunge and they don't play loud.
A7
It's the magic of the music that still draws a crowd.
[Verse]
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
I saw mini vans from Boca, Buses from Perrine.
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
There were people speaking Hindu In the Bar-B-Que line.
D D7 G Bb7 A7
A couple on their honeymoon Looked a bit confused. But the boys in the band
A7
put 'em right in the mood.
[Verse]
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
A lady dressed in purple started dancing all alone
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
Then she sauntered oh so gently to the vacant microphone.
D D7 G Bb7 A7
She sounded like she's someone and never missed a beat. By the time the number
ended they were
A7
dancin' in the street.
[Verse]
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
They'd died and gone to heaven That lively little crowd
D D#dim7 Em9 A7
Trombones and saxophones Sent 'em through the clouds
D D7 G Bb7 A7
It could have gone all night. But the party had to stop.When they blew the
circuit breaker
A7
In the souvenir shop
[Chorus]
D D#dim7 Em7 A7
It's the Bob Roberts Society Band.
F#m7 B7 Em7 A7
Playing every Sunday at the Orange Grove Stand.
D D7 G Bb7
They don't play grunge and they don't play loud.
A7
It's the magic of the music that still draws a crowd.
OHHHH Yeah!
