Bob Roberts Society Band Lyrics |

 [transcribed by Linda H]Bob Roberts Society Band By: Jimmy Buffett 1996 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 existance 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 Roberts 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 Roberts 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 Roberts 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 Roberts 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. Oh-yea-a-a-ah! |
