Poor Little Rich Girl - Count Basie & Tony Bennett
Poor little rich girl
You're a bewitched girl
Better take care
Laughing at danger
Virtue a stranger
Better beware!
The life you lead sets all your nerves a-jangle
You love affairs are in a hopeless tangle
Though you're a child, dear
Your life's a wild typhoon!

In lives of leisure
The craze for pleasure
Steadily grows;
Cocktails and laughter
But what comes after?
Nobody knows!
You're weaving love into a mad jazz pattern
Ruled by Pantaloon
Poor little rich girl
Don't drop a stitch too soon!

You're only a baby
You're lonely, and maybe
Someday soon you'll know
The tears you are tasting
Are years you are wasting
Life's a bitter foe!
With fate it's no use competing
Youth is so terribly fleeting;
By dancing much faster
You're chancing disaster
Time alone will show
