The Brass band

Vintage film circa 1940’s.
Sorry i dont have a link for you to watch but here are the
lyrics as far as i can get out;

theres a shanty in the town
on a little fair ground
with the green grass growin all around, all round
the roofs all worn, so badly torn
till it tumbles to the ground
just top of that shack, thats built way back
about 25 feet from the railroad track
blinkers on my mind most all the time
keeps calling me back to my little ole shack
id be just as nassie as i lay so lazy
if i were a king, wouldnt mean a thing
put my boots on tall
read the writing on the wall
no it wouldnt mean a thing
not a god damn thing
theres a queen waiting there
in a rocking chair
just blowing her top on ‘gators there
lookin all around and im trucking on down
cos the wedding gets back at my shanty town

BRING IN THE BRASS ! badaaa ba ba

    It’s a nice collage of some big band photos. It would be interesting to know which band. I have to disagree with my friend Sticky. It looks like Donald O’Conner, but in 1941 he would only have been 16 – born 1925 according to Wikpedia. He was making ‘college’ films around that time and starred with Gene Kelly in ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ in 1952. Sorry to pedantic. Nice collage!
