	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 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
	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 would 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
	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

	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 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
	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 would 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
	Romance is mush
	Stifling those who strive
	I' ll live a lush life in some small dive
	And there I' ll be
