Iâm the belle of the blues, and itâs easy to see
If I win or I lose, itâs all one to me
I was born on a shelf in the rare books library
I reside by myself with my books and my T.V.
Iâm an old age pension for the fossilized routine
Anybody for nostalgia, put a record on and see
Hereâs a memory of olden days
And a heartbreak grown cold
All that glitters isnât gold
You get no love for free
You live and you die
And Iâll probably throw it away
But in the end itâs mine
And nobody has a right to say
âGo down lightly - go down silentlyâ
Iâll go down screaming
âGive it back - it belongs to meâ
Iâm the belle of the blues - Iâm used to mingling
With the crème de la crème of higher society
I promise them roses, and an eight-by-ten of me
But when the partyâs over
Theyâre all too glad to leave
Their children sing of sorrow
Itâs the same old routine
Theyâve begged and theyâve borrowed
Someone elseâs misery
Itâs an easy act to follow
At least, an easy one for me
Give me my tomorrows
You can have my memories
Souvenirs from an old-fashioned school
Plays coquette on the pillow
Like an old-fashioned fool
Go down lightly
Go down silently
You go down lonely
You go down like me
