[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
"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"
[Verse 2]
"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"
[Bridge]
"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 and fine?"
[Verse 3]
"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?"
[Outro]
"Where, oh, where, oh, where
Did everyone go?"
