RICK BLAINE RETIRES TO LUCKENBACH TO CULTIVATE THE MIDDLE WAY

Silly little people, silly little world
Silly little globe where silly boy meets silly girl
Silly little appetites and silly little scene
None of it amounting to a silly hill of beans

O golly gee, why don’t we act our age
We’re only bloody actors on a silly cosmic stage
Just hangin out at Sardi’s while we wait for our reviews
Too trivial for tragedy and too big for the blues

Silly old gestapo, going to extremes
Gonna do the mess around in everybody’s dreams
Just a woogie-boogie man, he’s reallly nothing clear
Move out to Sedona if it ever happens here

O mercy me, what’s become of us?
The last plane left for Lisbon and there’s no room on the bus
Just a world so doggone weary it can barely tie its shoes
Too trivial for tragedy and too big for the blues

Nothin to get up for, that’s the way it goes
Lie around and contemplate the stardust on my toes
Leave it to the fat man, he can settle my affairs
Send a car from Brazzaville to anyone who cares

O glory be, son of a gun
The human race is over and I plumb forgot to run
Now I’ll never get my picture in the Sunday Sporting News
Too trivial for tragedy and too big for the blues

Silly little people, silly little world
Silly little globe where silly boy meets silly girl
Silly little appetites and silly little scene
None of it amounting to a silly hill of beans
