Casey would waltz with the strawberry blonde 

  

        D7

And the band played on.

               G
And the band played on

But his brain was so loaded it nearly exploded

        Am                      E        Am
The poor girl would shake with a - larm

          Gdim                   G                   E7
He'd never leave the girl with the strawberry curl

               A7    D7        G    Gdim  Am7  D7
And the band played on.
