Nat King Cole - Where Did Everyone Go? Lyrics
(jimmy van heusen, mack david)It wasnt my intention to eavesdrop,But there a guy sat, two stools away,And you could tell the bartender knew himAnd that hed been there some other day.And while I sipped my libation,I overheard his conversation...Re---memberHow Id walk in,What excitement there would be?Never less than twenty people,I had lots of friends, you see.I gave the party, I was the host.Everyone loved me,I was the most.Champagne and plenty of it,Real imported caviar,And the hat check girl got fiftyJust for lighting my cigar.I kept em laughin, jokes by the yard.Everyone loved me,I was a card.And I had a girl,A beautiful girl,Her whole world, I think, consisted of minkAnd diamonds and pearls.Because she was mine,Id glitter and shine,And life was a ball, and wasnt it allSo cozy n fine?But nothing lasts forever,And the deepest well runs dry.Just cause Ive stopped rolling sevensDoesnt mean I have to cry.Ill take that nightcap,One more wont show.And incidentally...maybe you know...Where, oh, where, oh, whereDid everyone go?Where, oh, where, oh, whereDid everyone go?
