My copy contains a lyrics sheet.This is a very rare album and might be worth about £ 60,- now.
I think the guy on guitar (A3) should be the great Jerry Donahue...
Steve - When are you gonna release this one on CD...
Leader Of The Band
Baby's so enchanting gets the fellars panting
Thinking things they shouldn't if they tried
she wouldn't
Even let them hold her pretty hand
'Cause Baby wants the leader of the bandBaby's such a teaser she can wrap a geezer
Round her little finger still they all malinger
Evidently they don't understand
That Baby only wants the leader of the bandThe leader of the band he's cool
The fact that he's the leader
Proves that he's no fool
An' when he makes his lead Baby proceeds
To go to piecesNow Baby's got a funny feeling in her tummy
She's got to tell her mommy she's going to
be a mummy
I don't think that she will understand
That Baby balled the leader of the band
