| [00:27.50] | I used to visit all the very gay places |
| [00:32.12] | Those come what may places |
| [00:35.03] | Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life |
| [00:41.07] | To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails |
| [00:48.83] | |
| [00:50.20] | The boys I knew had sad and sullen gray faces |
| [00:54.73] | With distingue traces |
| [00:57.23] | That used to be there you could see |
| [00:59.99] | where they'd been washed away |
| [01:02.89] | By too many thru the day |
| [01:06.14] | Twelve o'clock tales |
| [01:09.84] | |
| [01:11.12] | Then you came along with your siren song |
| [01:15.28] | To tempt me to madness |
| [01:18.96] | I thought for a while that your poignant smile |
| [01:23.25] | was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me |
| [01:31.58] | |
| [01:34.29] | Ah yes! I was wrong again |
| [01:43.42] | I was wrong |
| [01:50.22] | |
| [01:54.97] | Life is lonely again |
| [01:59.74] | And only last year everything seemed so sure |
| [02:09.23] | Now life is awful again |
| [02:15.36] | A troughful of hearts could only be a bore |
| [02:25.25] | A week in Paris will ease the bite of it |
| [02:34.43] | All I care is to smile in spite of it |
| [02:41.72] | |
| [02:43.20] | I'll forget you I will |
| [02:47.44] | While yet you are still burning inside my brain |
| [04:34.72][02:57.45] | Romance is mush |
| [04:40.22][03:01.17] | Stifling those who strive |
| [04:44.89][03:05.13] | I'll live a lush life in some small dive |
| [04:53.22][03:13.47] | And there I'll be, while I rot with the rest of |
| [05:02.85][03:21.76] | those whose lives are lonely too |
| [05:18.95][03:30.79] |
