歌词

	David Roth – Nights at the Chez
	Some thirty-odd years ago when I was three
	My sister a couple years older than me
	We'd get to go down to the old Chez Paree
	On the North side of downtown Chicago

	My dad worked the door with a wide-open hand
	Tuxedo-ed and tailored, a most handsome man
	My mother auditioned to sing with the band
	The most beautiful girl in the room

	All the performers who came there to play
	Sinatra and Bennett and young Mel Torme
	"They'd hang from the rafters," my father would say
	On those magical nights at the Chez

	One evening that winter my sister and me
	All dressed up and bow-tied and cute as could be
	We found ourselves leaning on opposite knees
	Of a man with a rather large nose

	A smelly cigar in the one hand he held
	A signature hat made of floppy gray felt
	He scooped us both up in his arms as he knelt
	And he tickled me right through my suit

	All the performers who came there to play
	Jimmy Durante and young Danny Kaye
	"They'd hang from the rafters," my father would say
	On those magical nights at the Chez

	So there on Mom's dresser this photograph sits
	Of Durante and Debbie and David as kids
	Before life got tricky, good God how it did
	And we scattered like leaves in the wind

	Dad stayed in Chicago, Mom moved to L.A.
	Deborah's in Portland and I'm day to day
	And the memories and miles seem so far away
	From those innocent nights at the Chez

	So here's to the family, God bless every one
	Though the memories and moments were not always fun
	Somehow we survived them and learned to move on
	Forgiving what nobody knew

	All the performers who came there to play
	Sophie Tucker, Nat King Cole, Maurice Chevalier
	And struggling young families finding their way
	Through those magical nights
	Those innocent nights, those magical nights
	At the Chez
