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