[Verse]
NC D D#dim7 Em9 A7Well, You've heard about the alligators sleepin' in the shade
D D#dim7 Em9 A7You've heard about the sugar barons screwin' up the 'glades,
D D7 G Bb7 A7It's a melting pot existence That is hard to contemplate And a never ending battle
A7in the Sunshine State.
[Verse]
D D#dim7 Em9 A7But far, far away from the front page news,
D D#dim7 Em9 A7Far, far away from the headline blues,
D D7 G Bb7 A7Down a secondary road that severely shows its age The forties comes to life
A7on a make-shift stage.
[Chorus]
D D#dim7 Em7 A7It's the Bob Roberts Society Band.
F#m7 B7 Em7 A7Playing every Sunday at the Orange Grove Stand.
D D7 G Bb7They don't play grunge and they don't play loud.
A7It's the magic of the music that still draws a crowd.
[Verse]
D D#dim7 Em9 A7Well, the word goes out From Melbourne to the Keys.
D D#dim7 Em9 A7The faithful get the message Like it's written on the breeze.
D D7 G Bb7 A7Young folks, old folks, 'Bout to cut a rug.Fox Trot, Bunny Hop, Do the Jitterbug,
[Chorus]
D D#dim7 Em7 A7It's the Bob Roberts Society Band.
F#m7 B7 Em7 A7Playing every Sunday at the Orange Grove Stand.

A7It's the magic of the music that still draws a crowd.
[Verse]
D D#dim7 Em9 A7I saw mini vans from Boca, Buses from Perrine.
D D#dim7 Em9 A7There were people speaking Hindu In the Bar-B-Que line.
D D7 G Bb7 A7A couple on their honeymoon Looked a bit confused. But the boys in the band
A7put 'em right in the mood.
[Verse]
D D#dim7 Em9 A7A lady dressed in purple started dancing all alone
D D#dim7 Em9 A7Then she sauntered oh so gently to the vacant microphone.
D D7 G Bb7 A7She sounded like she's someone and never missed a beat. By the time the number ended they were
A7dancin' in the street.
[Verse]
D D#dim7 Em9 A7They'd died and gone to heaven That lively little crowd
D D#dim7 Em9 A7Trombones and saxophones Sent 'em through the clouds
D D7 G Bb7 A7It could have gone all night. But the party had to stop.When they blew the circuit breaker
A7In the souvenir shop
[Chorus]
D D#dim7 Em7 A7It's the Bob Roberts Society Band.
F#m7 B7 Em7 A7Playing every Sunday at the Orange Grove Stand.
D D7 G Bb7They don't play grunge and they don't play loud.
A7It's the magic of the music that still draws a crowd.
