It wasnt my intention to eavesdrop,
But there a guy sat, two stools away,
And you could tell the bartender knew him
And that hed been there some other day.
And while I sipped my libation,
I overheard his conversation...
Re---member
How Id 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,
Id glitter and shine,
And life was a ball, and wasnt it all
So cozy n fine?
But nothing lasts forever,
And the deepest well runs dry.
Just cause Ive stopped rolling sevens
Doesnt mean I have to cry.
Ill take that nightcap,
One more wont show.
And incidentally...maybe you know...
Where, oh, where, oh, where
Did everyone go?
