Lush Life |
| 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 girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces |
| With distant gay 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 a while that your poignant smile |
| Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me |
| 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 trough full of hearts could only be a bore |
| A week in Paris 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 a must 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 |
| Of those whose lives are lonely too |
