歌词
It wasn't my intention to eavesdrop
But there a guy sat, two stools away
And you could tell the bartender knew him
And that he'd been there some other day
And while I sipped my libation
I overheard his conversation...
Remember
How I'd walk in
What excitement there would be?
Never less than twenty people
I had lots of friends, you see.
I gave the party, I was the host
Everyone loved me
I was the most
Champagne and plenty of it
Real imported caviar
And the hat check girl got fifty
Just for lighting my cigar
I kept 'em laughin', jokes by the yard
Everyone loved me
I was a card
And I had a girl
A beautiful girl
Her whole world, I think, consisted of mink
And diamonds and pearls.
Because she was mine
I'd glitter and shine
And life was a ball, and wasn't it all
So cozy 'n fine?
But nothing lasts forever
And the deepest well runs dry
Just 'cause I've stopped rolling sevens
Doesn't mean I have to cry
I'll take that nightcap
One more won't show.
And incidentally...maybe you know...
Where, oh, where, oh, where
Did everyone go?
Where, oh, where, oh, where
Did everyone go?
