| Six o’clock time to stop
|
| And count the blisters on my feet
|
| I’ve been swinging at the solitary home
|
| For caviar on plates of chrome
|
| I rub my head eyes going red
|
| I try to picture myself back there
|
| In the eruption of the dreams that turned to lead
|
| On the ivy covered bed
|
| My life’s a downtown boogie every night and day
|
| Lovers come and lovers go, but that is just a part of the play
|
| Now I got new shoes for downtown boogie, the endless cabaret
|
| Cry your little heart out
|
| Everything is gonna be okay, tomorrow
|
| Seven o’clock the sun is up
|
| And like a bullet in a china shop
|
| In these anachronistic hours of today
|
| The belly of the moon is gray
|
| Now there’s nobody here but Fred Astaire
|
| Frank Sinatra, Doris Day
|
| Oh Olivia de Havilland my bride
|
| I’ll keep you by my side
|
| And when you’re feeling blue
|
| Take a ride with the tinkerbelly boy
|
| Step up for some pedestrian city joy
|
| 'cause we won’t be here tomorrow
|
| But it sure as hell was fun
|
| My life’s a downtown boogie every night and day
|
| Lovers come and lovers go, but that is just a part of the play
|
| Now I got new shoes for downtown boogie, tap dance and ballet
|
| Cry your little heart out
|
| Everything is gonna be okay, tomorrow |
