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 girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces 
With distingué 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 a while 
That your poignant smile 
Was tinged with the sadness 
Of a great love for me 
I guess I was wrong 
Again I was wrong 

Life is lonely again 
And only last year everything seemed so sure 
Now life is awful again 
A troughful of hearts 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 

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"
