Chorus

All the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall

The marble statuettes

Are standing stately, in the hall, but will the timely crowd,

that has you laughing loud help you, dry your tears

When the new wears off of your crystal chande-liers

I never did, fit in too well with folks you knew

And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you

So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do

And you turned a way from the love I offered you

All the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall

The marble statuettes

Are standing stately, in the hall, but will the timely crowd,

that has you laughing loud help you, dry your tears

When the new wears off of your crystal chande-liers

I never did, fit in too well with folks you knew

And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you

So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do

And you turned a way from the love I offered you

I see your picture in the news most every day

You're the chosen girl of the social world

So the stories say

But a paper smile only last awhile

Then it fades away

And the love we knew will come home to you some day
