she was foolish and he was crazy,
she was headstrong and he was lazy,
bad luck followed them both around.
sick and tired of the freezing city
they drove west where the trees were pretty,
green grass and somewhere to lay them down.
every night when the sun went down
they got in the car and they drove right into town
and they danced all night.
she was always gonna be somebody,
he was glad to be with anybody,
hard times waited behind the door.
deep down they knew it didn’t matter
whatever dreams might sink or shatter,
true love waited behind the door.
someday in a different crowd
they’d tell the barman to play the music loud,
and they danced all night.
she was the lover of the great dictator,
the night before she was to meet her maker,
made up and wearing her finest gown.
he promised her the world and almost made it,
her dreams of hollywood and glamour faded
game’s up the curtain was coming down.
she put the poison in her dressing gown
and while the russians were shooting up the town
they danced all night.
