Ethel just hit the wall
She used to have a ball
Drank Champagne all night
Danced till the morning light
Money came in the door
Just one great year before
Bought mansions with her wares
With her stock market shares

Mussolini came to power
She was a big Yankees fan
She never opened Mein Kampf
Gonna screw Charlie Chaplain
The Locarno Treaties
kept down the enemy
She partied all the time
for four years, she was, ALRIGHT when there's

Hoagy, Cole Porter
Gherig in the order
There was Ira, and George G
And a blues out of St Loueee

She's read all the classics
She's Hemmingway's glee
"...Sun Rises" Teddy Dreiser
Even "The Great Gatsby"
She rocked out to HOLST!
Never felt depression woes

In a gigantic stock market crash

Where's the flapper dress, looking vi-le?
John T Scopes owed a C, after the Monkey Trial
When did Louis Armstrong Become all wrong
Whatever happened to Nielsen, Ravel,
(on the radio was)

She hates time. There's no doubt.
When did Calvin Coolidge get voted out?
And since when's Reagan, not been an actor
Senile bags, BAGS! BAGS! WE!.... all scream for
