[00:13.75]Of rainy afternoons swingy Harlem tunes
[00:18.38]Motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes

[00:26.29]
[00:27.14]Thanks for the memory

[00:36.07]The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson river line
[00:40.53]How lovely it was

[00:45.30]Many's the time that we feasted
[00:49.04]And many's the time that we fasted
[00:52.93]

[01:58.05]We said goodbye with a highball
[02:02.17]Then I got as high as a steeple
[02:05.99]
[02:07.12]But we were intelligent people
[02:10.69]
[02:11.44]No tears no fuss hooray for us
