 Lead Me To That Beautiful Band (18 Apr 1912)
 ["By E. Ray Goetz and Irving Berlin".]
 [1st verse:]
 Dear, lend an ear to the finest music in the land
 You'd better hurry and take a hand
 I want to linger beside that grandstand band, and
 Hon', better run, just because I hear them tuning up
 I'm kind of hungry myself, but we'll be late
 So please don't wait to sup
 Oh, hurry up!
 I just kind of think that I'd rather drink
 From a musical cup
 [chorus:]
 Just hear that slide trombone a-blowin' for me
 Just hear those sweet cornets all goin' for me
 Hear the piccoloer pick a melody
 See the clarionetter clarionetting me
 Hear that cello moan, moan
 Say what you may, but the way he plays that violin
 Shows when he bows that he knows he throws his feelings in
 Come, come
 Honey, they're goin' some
 Drum, drum
 Lead me, lead me to that beautiful band
 [2nd verse:]
 Dear, it's a year since you took your baby to a show
 I'm not complaining a bit, oh no!
 I'm only telling you that you're oh, so slow, beau
 I'm worth a dime, so come on, don't worry 'bout the fare
 We'll take some dinner along in first class style
 And eat it while we're there
 I'll eat my share
 You'll be there all right with an appetite
 Like a grizzly bear
