It's fine to have a blow-out in a fancy restaurant, With terrapin and canvas-back and all the wine you want; To enjoy the flowers and music, watch the pretty women pass, Smoke a choice cigar, and sip the wealthy water in your glass. It's bully in a high-toned joint to eat and drink your fill, But it's quite another matter when you Pay the bill.

It's great to go out every night on fun or pleasure bent; To wear your glad rags always and to never save a cent;
