Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

Singin' with the Big Bands

If I wrote history

And could pocket a moment for me

It would be

Singin' with the big bands

I would turn back the clock

For the time we'll be in for a shock

Hearin me singin' with the big bands

If I had me a genie inside Aladdin's lamp

I'd tell him do your thing

And like that I would be

At the Paramount in '43

And I sing

Ringin' in the good times

Swingin' with the big boys

Singin' with the big bands

Singin' with the big bands

If I had me a genie inside Aladdin's lamp

I'd tell him Mr. Genie go on and do your thing

And like that I would be

At the Paramount in '43

And I sing

Ringin' in the good times

Singin' with the big boys

Wingin' it in swing time

Bringing back the big nose

I'm jumpin with the Duke

Stoppin with the King

Cooler than the Kid

Swinging everything

I'm singin' with the big bands
