Take off your coat of many colors
|
And throw it on the floor
|
Like your old discarded lovers
|
The ones you can't recall
|
|
Lay your head down on the pillow
|
Place your hand upon your chest
|
Close your eyes and think of England
|
To take your final rest
|
|
Sometimes all the love in the world
|
Is never quite enough
|
They love you and adore you
|
But only when you're dressing up
|
|
It's all this useless love
|
A total waste of time
|
One day the sun will dim and die
|
With no one left to mind
|
|
The death of a dandy
|
A grand dilly dandy
|
Let's dip our maraschinos
|
In a glass of cherry brandy
|
|
You're all out of witticism
|
No longer bonne-vivant
|
They all wait for you to sparkle
|
In the end you said you can't
|
|
Lay your head down on the pillow
|
Spray yourself with rose'
|
Place your mirror on the bedside
|
Kiss the only one you love
|
|
Sometimes all the love in the world
|
Is never quite enough
|
They never really knew you
|
Never saw you looking rough
|
|
It's all this pointless life
|
A total waste of time
|
Everything moves on so fast
|
And we get left behind
|
|
The death of a dandy
|
A funeral for a lord
|
The death of Narcissus
|
Another angel fall
|
|
In your youth you had enough beauty
|
That you could make a hard man cry
|
But it was written in your legend
|
That you had to die
|
|
Sometimes all the love in the world
|
Is never quite enough
|
They love you and adore you
|
But only when you're dressing up
|
|
It's all this useless love
|
A total waste of time
|
One day the sun will dim and die
|
With no one left to mind
|
|
The death of a dandy
|
A grand dilly dandy
|
Let's dip our maraschinos
|
In a glass of cherry brandy
|
|
The death of a dandy
|
Oh, what an occasion
|
But you are simply sobbing
|
With just the rasons
|
|
The death of a dandy
|
The faith of a prince
|
Your chateau Brianne
|
We're just here to miss
|
|
The death of a dandy
|
A funeral for a lord
|
The death of Narcissus
|
Another angel fall
|
