I used to visit all the very gay places, | |
Those come-what-may places, | |
Where one relaxes on the axis, | |
Of the wheel of life, | |
To get the feel of life, | |
From jazz and cocktails. | |
The gals (girls) I knew had sad and sullen gray faces, | |
With distingué traces, | |
That used to be there. | |
You could see where, | |
They'd been washed away, | |
By too many through the day. | |
Twelve o'clock tales. | |
Then you came along, | |
With your siren song, | |
To tempt me to madness. | |
I thought for awhile, | |
That your poignant smile, | |
Was tinged with the sadness, | |
Of a great love for me. | |
I guess (Ah, yes,) I was wrong. | |
Again, I was wrong. | |
Life is lonely again, | |
And only last year everything seemed so sure. | |
Now life is awful again. | |
A troughful of hearts could only be a bore. | |
A week in Paris might (will) ease the bite of it. | |
All I care is to smile in spite of it. | |
I'll forget you I will, | |
While yet you are still, | |
Burning inside my brain. | |
Romance is mush, | |
Stifling those who strive. | |
I'll live a lush life, | |
In some small dive. | |
And there I'll be, | |
While I rot with the rest, | |
Of those whose lives are lonely, too. | |
Lush life. |
I used to visit all the very gay places, | |
Those comewhatmay places, | |
Where one relaxes on the axis, | |
Of the wheel of life, | |
To get the feel of life, | |
From jazz and cocktails. | |
The gals girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces, | |
With distingue traces, | |
That used to be there. | |
You could see where, | |
They' d been washed away, | |
By too many through the day. | |
Twelve o' clock tales. | |
Then you came along, | |
With your siren song, | |
To tempt me to madness. | |
I thought for awhile, | |
That your poignant smile, | |
Was tinged with the sadness, | |
Of a great love for me. | |

Life is lonely again, | |
And only last year everything seemed so sure. | |
Now life is awful again. | |
A troughful of hearts could only be a bore. | |
A week in Paris might will ease the bite of it. | |
All I care is to smile in spite of it. | |
I' ll forget you I will, | |
While yet you are still, | |
Burning inside my brain. | |
Romance is mush, | |
Stifling those who strive. | |
I' ll live a lush life, | |
In some small dive. | |
And there I' ll be, | |
While I rot with the rest, | |
Of those whose lives are lonely, too. | |
