Poor Greta thought she'd do better, |
|
On the west of the Berlin wall, |
|
They went crazy down the emissary, |
|
When she missed her last curtain call, |
|
(The French let her be a domicile) |
|
The leading lady of the Bolshy Ballet, |
|
She only lived for dancing, |
|
But in the face of matrimony, |
|
She only lived for dancing, |
|
She still heard the warnings of family |
|
and friends as she sat a paris cafe, |
|
Don't leave till you're sure you'll be happier |
|
there 'cos we'll never see you again. |
|
She saw her face on every cover, |
|
They said she was the very best, |
|
She wasn't breathing when they found her body, |
|
She couldn't stand it in the West. |
