Lush Life (1957 Version)

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

Through jazz and cocktailsThe girls there all 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

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

But, oh I was wrong

Again I was wrongLife is lonely again

And only last year everything seemed so sure

Now life is awful again

A trough full of hearts would only be a boreA 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 diveAnd there I'll be

While I rot with the rest

of those whose lifes are lonely too.
