The Age Of Rhythm |
| Today I feel like Dorothy Parker |
| Today I’ve got the critical eye |
| I paint my world just a little bit darker |
| Don’t even have to try |
| Everyone seems a little bit desperate |
| Oh so witty, but over the edge |
| I don’t know why they try to impress you |
| With one foot on the window ledge |
| That’s just the way they play it |
| That’s just the way they are |
| Think up a line and say it |
| I’ll see you all later down at the bar |
| Don’t try to understand it |
| It won’t get you very far |
| Even the Great Pretender |
| Is really as naked a Hedy Lamarr |
| Today I feel like Dorothy Parker |
| Today I’m up here walking the floor |
| The light inside my head getting darker |
| Going to leave this town for sure |
| One block down and another block over |
| There’s a place that will make you a drink |
| The night is hot, I believe that I’ll go there |
| A password will get you in |
| Play a song by Hoagy Carmichael |
| Play that horn like Beiderbecke too |
| A glass or two of something you like’ll |
| Separate you from these blues |
| Life is a constant party |
| Swung to a shot of jazz |
| Even the broken-hearted |
| Can steal a feel of the razamatazz |
| This is the age of rhythm |
| These are the dancing years |
| Jump through the mirror with them |
| New York has no time for your tears |
| Today I feel like Dorothy Parker |
| Today I’ve got the critical eye |
| I paint my world just a little bit darker |
| Don’t even have to try |
