Paul Gervaise picks up the Herald
|
And sees the face of Zelda Fitzgerald
|
She's part of the scene
|
Of life between the wars
|
|
The tropic sun is sticky and warm
|
And it bakes the head of Somerset Maugham
|
Who is writing a scene
|
Of life between the wars
|
|
You're waiting by the hotdog stand
|
In the onion air
|
As the ball flies through the park
|
Violet and Vita run
|
Through the streets of Paris
|
Their laughter floating through the dark
|
|
A fog that fell is swallowing London
|
Coco Chanel came back with a suntan
|
To brighten the scene
|
Of life between the wars
|
|
There will be a pint of milk
|
And a Hovis loaf
|
At the end of every street
|
You can hear a silver band on the radio
|
And it makes the grocer tap his feet
|
|
The King is leaving Buckingham Palace
|
It's all too cold
|
He'd rather have Wallis
|
They're part of the scene
|
Of life between the war
|
