Her name was Lola, she was a show girl.
But that was thirty years go.
When they used to have a show.
Now it’s a disco, but not for Lola.
Still in the dress she used to wear.
Faded feathers in her hair.
She sits there so refined and drinks herself half blind. She lost her youth and she lost her Tony.
Now she’s lost her mind.
(Repeat * to fade)
