20th Century Blues
What do you call it, bobsled champion, and you, too, Olympic roller-coaster ace,
high-diving queen, what is the word,
number one man on the Saturday poker squad, motion picture star incognito as a home girl, life of the party or you, the serious type, what is it, what is it,

just exactly like a song, like a knockout, like a dream, like a book,
What is the word, when you know that all the lights of all the cities of all the world are burning bright as day, and you know that some time they all go out for you,
