Lyrics
0:07There are those who own the world around your own
0:20And say you want to swan one to one
0:28Hey kid they own the pond
0:35There are those who rest and those who make the beds
0:48And should you seek redress can't you guess
0:55Hey child they own this mess
1:04So if these star-dust memories fail to please
1:12If you confuse this dinner dance with elegance
1:19If you suffer lack of due respect
1:26Take comfort from the guessing game aspect
1:33That she is least where you expect
1:53Please be ashamed that you're afraid
1:57Equating elegance and real estate
2:05When all the bullion in the world
2:10Cannot transform what's simply second rate
2:18But will yea no come assess me boastfully
2:28I'll not be bought by your silver plated come to me
2:35So don't you do come try me
2:42Because these star-dust memories fail to please
2:49They're not alike this dinner dance this elegance and if you
2:57Want to swan one to one
3:04Kid you don't need the pond
3:12There are those whose time is due for steep decline
3:24If you can't find the spot where their time stops
3:32Just ask who built the clocks
There are those who own the world around your own And say you want to swan one to one Hey kid they own the pond There are those who rest and those who make the beds And should you seek redress can't you guess Hey child they own this mess So if these star-dust memories fail to please If you confuse this dinner dance with elegance If you suffer lack of due respect Take comfort from the guessing game aspect That she is least where you expect Please be ashamed that you're afraid Equating elegance and real estate When all the bullion in the world Cannot transform what's simply second rate But will yea no come assess me boastfully I'll not be bought by your silver plated come to me So don't you do come try me Because these star-dust memories fail to please They're not alike this dinner dance this elegance and if you Want to swan one to one Kid you don't need the pond There are those whose time is due for steep decline If you can't find the spot where their time stops Just ask who built the clocks
