now speak through fancy boudoirs and search through window grays
but i only saw republicans romance in southern states and where were you baby when my heart went
out you left me baby and all this darkness and doubt
now i've tried to replace you with a streetwalker named desire but price is up so high
why i couldn't afford to try or it takes you my baby to put my fire out
you left me baby
and all this darkness and doubt
tonight i think i'm gonna take some good advice i'm gonna look around and find me somebody that's
really nice well perhaps a banker's daughter and if her papa's a cuss well i hope to do to her
what her papa does to us and we'll have a fancy shack and a fancy cadillac and she'll be studying
to be a nymphomaniac and we'll have a
little
little rye and play a little gin we'll have another rye and we'll play a little more gin
and then we'll have another rye just to get a little glow we'll have another rye just to
make the conversation slow then we'll have another rye and we'll play a little gin we'll have another
and we'll tune some music in and then we'll have another gin and we'll play a little rye
And we'll suddenly realize that we're getting kind of high.
And then we'll turn the lights down low to keep the bulbs from getting hot.
And we'll play a little game called Yes.
No.
Why not?
But tonight I think I'm going to find me something swell
So I can wake up in the morning miserable as hell
Now when butter costs a dollar and bread costs more than cake
Come back soon, cause think of what a gal like you could make
Yes, come back, baby, and don't ever say that we're through
Cause this time, woman, I'd like to walk around
And ride out on you
