Where Did Everyone Go?
(专辑: Where Did Everyone Go? - 1963)
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 laughing, 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?"
