Down The Drain - Allan Sherman

Down down down down down

Down down down

The sweetest things in life

Don't stay around for very long

They come and go

And don't come back again

Come back again

While they're here

You feel so smug

That's when fate

Pulls out the plug

And the sweetest things in life

Go down the drain

Go down the drain

What has happened to galoshes

Down the drain

Down the drain

Where's the czar of all the russias

Down the drain

Down the drain

And the five cent candy bar

And the good old edsel car

Gone where all the swell things are

Down down down down

Down the drain

Right down the drain

Down the drain

Gone down the drain

Where are telephone prefixes

Down the drain

Down the drain

They've all gone

To where tom mix is

Down the drain

Down the drain

Where's those grand old gold dust twins

All those german zeppelins

Boys who set up bowling pins

Pin pin pin down

Down the drain

Right down the drain

Down the drain

Gone down the drain

Drain drain drain drain

Down down down

Suppose we made a fuss

About the double decker bus

Do you suppose

They'd bring it back again

Bring back again

Fountain pens that use real ink

Coins that don't go clunk

But clink

The things we love

Are sinking down the drain

The things we love

Are sinking down the drain

Where are all those kamikazes

Down the drain

Down the drain

And the hotel savoy plaza's

Down the drain

Down the drain

Where's the New York world's fair

Just last year

I saw it there

In the heart of flushing

Where

Flushing

Down the drain

Right down

Flushing down the drain

Right down the drain

Flushing down the drain
