Frank Sinatra - Here's To The Band Lyrics
(S. Howe, A. Nittoli, A. Schroeck)[Recorded January 25, 1983, New York][Intro]Hear that music playing, listen to what it's sayingThroughout the years I've made a lot of friendsMany became famous, most of them go namelessBut I dedicate this song to all of themI've sung with the best and I've had it allI've gone from neighborhood saloons to Carnegie HallI've been down and out and I've been in demandBut I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band!Those magical notes, those musical pearlsI've sung with all the Counts, the Dukes, the Kings, and the EarlsAnd the experience, I have to say, was grandBut I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band![Bridge]Strings soaring, horns boringDrums pounding in my earTo start at the ground and reach for the topTo have such a wonderful career, I just gotta stopStop and turn around to thank everyone that sits on the stand`cause I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band![instrumental]Here's to those ladies and the gentlemenHere's to the AF of MI wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band!Here's to the band!
