You know, quite for no reason I'm here for the season And high as a kite— Living in error With Maud at Cap Ferrat (Which couldn't be right)... Everyone's here, and frightfully gay; Nobody cares what people say, Though the Riviera Seems really much queerer Than Rome at its height! On Wednesday night I went to a marvellous party With Noonoo, and Nada, and Nell— It was in the fresh air, And we went as we were, And we stayed as we were, (Which was hell) Poor Grace started singing at midnight, And she didn't stop singing 'til four— We knew the excitement was bound to begin When Laura got blind on Dubonnet and gin And scratched her veneer with a Cartier pin! I couldn't have liked it more!

ReplyDeleteI'm here for the season
And high as a kite—
Living in error
With Maud at Cap Ferrat

Everyone's here, and frightfully gay;
Nobody cares what people say,
Though the Riviera
Seems really much queerer
Than Rome at its height!
On Wednesday night
I went to a marvellous party
With Noonoo, and Nada, and Nell—
It was in the fresh air,
And we went as we were,
And we stayed as we were,
(Which was hell)
Poor Grace started singing at midnight,
And she didn't stop singing 'til four—
We knew the excitement was bound to begin
When Laura got blind on Dubonnet and gin
And scratched her veneer with a Cartier pin!
I couldn't have liked it more!
