Dangling Cheek to Cheek (feat. Django Haskins)

Alright everybody
Here we go
Let's dangle
You wore ermine and pearls
Dining on silver with emperors and earls
We'd have champagne at noon
Oysters at midnight
And howl at the moon
We were wits of renown
Liquorus up and we could astound
We were the top of the heap
The best of the best
Mohammed Ali
But hey
Look at us now
Look at us now
We're hanging by a thread
And it's slippery and wet
We're hanging by a thread
But hey
We ain't dead yet
And if I have to dangle
From this precipitous peak
At least I have you here with me
Dangling cheek to cheek
Oh, look at us now!
They called us the toast of the town
When we'd step out, they'd all bow down
We were the Pulitzer Prize
The Phi Beta Kappa of tuxedos and ties
Proud as "cock of the walk"
Dressed to the tens
And talking the talk
We were the crème de la crème
A three pointer shot without
Touching the rim!
But hey
Look at us now
Look at us now
We're hanging by a thread
And it's slippery and wet
We're hanging by a thread
But hey
We ain't dead yet
And if I have to dangle
From this precipitous peak
At least I have you here with me
Dangling cheek to cheek
Oh, look at us now!
They find us on Wimbledon Green
With a Pimm's cup to see and be seen
We spent weeks at the Ritz
And fed vichyssoise to our pet spitz
But hey
Look at us now
Look at us now
We're hanging by a thread
And it's slippery and wet
We're hanging by a thread
But hey
We ain't dead yet
And if I have to dangle
From this precipitous peak
At least I have you here with me
Dangling cheek to cheek
Oh, look at us now!
Oh, look at us now!
Oh, look at us now!
Oh, look at us now!
