She’s been around the band (Edit) (Remastered)

Kimberley Edwards

Big band, upbeat, catchy, duet male and female

[She:]
Honey, that’s just how I keep in tune!

[He:]
She’s sugar-sweet, with a copper sting—

[She:]
A little spice keeps the rhythm swingin’!

[Both:]
She takes the spotlight, hand in hand—

[He:]
You know her name from every stand!

[She:]
And if you’re wonderin’ where I land—

[Both, together:]
I’ve been around the band!
(Bridge)
(Male)
The preacher says “repent, my dear,”
But she just grins, “why start this year?”
(Female)
If love’s a sin, then write it down —
I’ve got the hottest show in town!
(Final Chorus)

[He / Band:]
Oh, she’s been around, around — you know!
Left lipstick marks on the old trombone!

[She:]
Now don’t you fret, I clean ‘em fine —
A girl’s just helpin’ keep the shine!

[He:]
When the lights go low and the crowd’s long gone—

[She:]
That’s when the rhythm keeps rollin’ on!

[He:]
A shimmy, a laugh, a velvet hand—

[She:]
You can’t outplay this one-girl band!

[Both, big finish:]
Oh swing it high, swing it grand —
Lord knows, she’s been around the band!
(Tag) 
(Male)
Now boys beware and keep your beat,
She’ll sweep you right off both your feet,
The censors blink, the crowd goes grand —
(Together)
That gal’s been around the band!

(Verse 1) - Male She don’t wait for introductions, She just sashays through the crowd, Every gent she meets gets dizzy — Even the drummer’s playin’ loud! She’s got a wink for the trumpets, And a smile for the bass man’s hand, By the time the tune is over — She’s been around the band! (Chorus) - Male Oh, she’s been around — and ‘round again, She likes her jazz and her gentlemen, She’ll steal your solo, make you swoon, And leave your heart out of tune. She’s sugar-sweet, with a copper sting, Takes the spotlight like a queen of swing, The boys all cheer — they understand, She’s been around the band! (Verse 2) - Female She wears perfume called Maybe, And heels that whisper BewareWhen she drifts through the smoke rings, You can taste her in the air. She hums in key with dangerAnd flirts cos it's her brand, And when the curtain’s calliShe's been around the b[He / Band:] Oh, she’s been around — and ‘round again, She likes her jazz and her gentlemen, She’ll steal your solo, make you swoon— [She:] Honey, that’s just how I keep in tune!
