lyrics

She led a Big Band, The Platinum Blondes
All women, swinging, 45 strong
They bleached their hair, they blew their brass
They entertained, you bet your ass!

She rode a horse to school and back
Even then she knew her tack
She hooked up with a family troupe
And with her sibs they did a Canada loop

The Musical Eckhardts, they were fine
They filled the best houses every time
She played that trumpet with a tone
Made ‘em dance and shiver to the bone

And then she had a family
And couldn’t be on the CBC
To blast her brass with The Happy Gang
The mute came on when the top brass rang

She led a Big Band, The Platinum Blondes
All women, swinging, 45 strong
They bleached their hair, they blew their brass
They entertained, you bet your ass!
