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 boys 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

Those 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

I was wrong

Again

I was so wrong

Life is lonely again

And only last year everything seemed so sure

Now life is awful again

A trough full of parts 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 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
