[00:11.04] |
I knew a man once very long ago |
[00:14.94] |
|
[00:15.53] |
They say that he was born in buffalo |
[00:19.11] |
But I don't believe it |
[00:20.67] |
|
[00:21.78] |
Buffalo was never sufficiently gilded and pearled |
[00:26.69] |
|
[00:27.22] |
And this man turned out to be |
[00:31.63] |
The play boy of the western world |
[00:34.95] |
|
[00:36.00] |
Oh he was elegant past all dreaming |
[00:43.90] |
|
[00:44.92] |
He made seeming seem like the real mccoy |
[00:50.16] |
|
[00:51.64] |
All the sheiks of Araby all the shahs of Persia |
[00:58.48] |
|
[00:59.36] |
Couldn't hold a candle to this boy |
[01:04.73] |
|
[01:06.12] |
When he walked through a room |
[01:08.21] |
|
[01:09.60] |
It looked as handsome as Napoleon's tomb |
[01:12.37] |
|
[01:13.36] |
And the ford he rode |
[01:15.85] |
|
[01:16.92] |
Could have been mercedes benz a la mode |
[01:20.70] |
When he took me out I didn't doubt |
[01:25.26] |
That we were going to the Astor or the Sherry Netherland |
[01:29.24] |
|
[01:29.81] |
Spring seemed to linger |
[01:33.25] |
In the little bunch of flowers he pressed into my hand |
[01:37.70] |
|
[01:38.89] |
Little bunch of flowers didn't cost a dime |
[01:42.70] |
Picked them in the park in their prime |
[01:45.64] |
|
[01:48.01] |
He went around with his heart unfurled |
[01:50.74] |
The one and only play boy of the western world |
[01:54.54] |
|
[01:55.13] |
You could fall in love with everyone you'd meet |
[01:58.45] |
|
[01:58.98] |
When you walked with him down the street |
[02:01.74] |
|
[02:12.31] |
Play boys die young this one did too |
[02:18.85] |
|
[02:19.62] |
All worn out making dreams come true |
[02:26.54] |
|
[02:27.30] |
And the world was grim again without him again |
[02:31.95] |
Without him |
[02:33.72] |
|
[02:35.13] |
For he was elegant past all dreaming |
[02:44.29] |
He made seeming seem like the real mccoy |
[02:49.56] |
|
[02:51.15] |
All the sheiks of Araby all the shahs of Persia |
[02:57.77] |
|
[02:59.08] |
Couldn't hold a candle to this boy |
[03:04.38] |
|
[03:05.52] |
When they took him out oh I didn't doubt |
[03:09.50] |
|
[03:10.03] |
That he was going to Miami or some other wonderland |
[03:15.02] |
|
[03:15.67] |
Spring seemed to linger |
[03:18.89] |
In the little bunch of flowers I pressed into his hand |
[03:23.62] |
|
[03:24.70] |
Little bunch of flowers didn't cost a dime |
[03:27.93] |
|
[03:28.49] |
Picked them in the park in their prime |
[03:31.65] |
|
[03:34.10] |
He went around with his heart unfurled |
[03:36.85] |
The one and only play boy of the western world |
[03:41.06] |
He was the play boy of the western world |
[03:44.53] |
|
[03:45.23] |
The play boy of the western world |
