Bob Robert's Society Band - Jimmy Buffett

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!
