Shinin' so bright, all covered in glitter
Promising delight, spotlights that hit her
Movin' it real fine, really good looker
Wigglin' my line, tryin' to hook her
And then she vanished in the smoke
Tryin' to land that really big contract
Nearly in my hands, practic'ly a fact
Well, movin' on up to higher society
Just can't help feelin' a little anxiety
And then it vanished in the smoke
Oh that holy smoke
You know it really ain't no joke
You can smell it on my coat
I think I'm goin' broke
Big golden coach with pretty white horses
Takin' me home to fifty-four courses
Havin' a ball, you are all invited
Champagne on my brain, really excited
And then they all vanished in the smoke
Oh that holy smoke
You know it really ain't no joke
You can smell it on my coat
I think I'm goin' broke
That's how it goes
Easy come, easy go
Now you see it now you don't
Don't call me Cinderella!
Oh that holy smoke
You know it really ain't no joke
You can smell it on my coat
I think I'm goin' broke
And the rest of the world
Going down
Going down
Basement
Bargain basement
Drains
Sewer
Got the price of a cup of illusion guv'nor?
