Sleepless Nights More Songs movie - Down in the Depths lyrics

rate me

Song by Merman, Ethel<br /><br>

Verse<br>

<br>

Manhattan-I'm up a tree<br>

The one I've most adored<br>

Is bored <br>

With me.<br>

Manhattan, I'm awf'lly nice,<br>

Nice people dine with me,<br>

And even twice.<br>

Yet the only one in the world I'm mad about<br>

Talks of somebody else<br>

And walks out.<br>

<br>

Refrain<br>

<br>

With a million neon rainbows burning below me<br>

And a million blazing taxis raising a roar<br>

Here I sit, above the town<br>

In my pet pailletted gown<br>

Down in the depths on the ninetieth floor.<br>

While the crowds at El Morocco punish the parquet<br>

And at ?°21?± the couples clamor for more<br>

I'm deserted and depressed<br>

In my regal eagle nest<br>

Down in the depths on the ninetieth floor.<br>

When the only one you wanted wants another<br>

What's the use of swank and cash in the bank galore?<br>

Why, even the janitor's wife<br>

Has a perfectly good love life<br>

And here am I<br>

Facing tomorrow<br>

Alone with my sorrow<br>

Down in the depths on the ninetieth floor.<br>

<br>
