Where Did Everyone Go?

It wasn't my intention to eavesdrop

But there was a guy sat, two stools away

And you could tell the bartender knew him

And that he'd been there some other day

And while I sipped my libation

I overheard his conversation

Remember how I'd walk in

What excitement there would be?

Never less than twenty people

I had lots of friends, you see

I gave the party, I was the host

Everyone loved me, I was the most

Champagne and plenty of it

Real imported caviar

And the hatcheck girl got fifty

Just for lighting my cigar

I kept 'em laughin', jokes by the yard

Everyone loved me, I was a card

And I had a girl, a beautiful girl, her whole world

I think, consisted of mink and diamonds and pearls

Because she was mine, I'd glitter and shine

And life was a ball, and wasn't it all, so cozy 'n fine?

But nothing lasts forever and the deepest well runs dry

Just 'cause I've stopped rolling sevens doesn't mean I have to cry

I'll take that nightcap, one more won't show

And incidentally maybe you know where, oh, where, oh, where

Did everyone go?

Where, oh, where, oh

Where did everyone go?
