Night Life Lyrics © 2008, Chris Palestrant. All rights reserved.n It's just a little ditty 'bout a girl you'll recognize (With an) inauspicious penchant for unscrupulous guys. Her mother raised her right; her morals weren't lax, But one glance from a scoundrel and she'd leap over the tracks. Refrain: He was beyond compare, she was beyond belief; He was a rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief. One hard look and she was hard luck again, And all she ever wanted was just one honest man. In spring she met a banker with a coat trimmed in fur And she felt something way deep inside of her start to stir. So she let him make a deposit into her joint account, But she found him getting interest at the branches downtown. Refrain: In summer came a gambler who was ready to deceive With a flower on his jacket and an ace up his sleeve But he spun a charming line about his dreams and his plans, And when she tried to settle down he grabbed her assets and ran Refrain: Keys Solo = Verse + Refrain Bridge In wintertime a doctor walked right into her life He had the looks; he had the cash, and didn't have a wife. So she moved into his house until she hit a little snag When she found him playing doctor with a blonde in his Jag! After a year of this she found a shrink and laid it all down, "Won't you tell me what is wrong with all the men in this town? Why can no one be honest?" But he pulled her close and said, "Honey, the only honest man is one who's already dead!" Refrain: Refrain: |
