Lush Life - Julie London

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
