1930s Fun

 

She looks nice from afar, but she was far from nice.

Unlike girls in the nursery rhyme she's not made from sugar and spice.

She's beguiling and enchanting but she's cut from cold, cold ice.

The Sedanca Deville is her favourite car,

 the long Ocean voyages on the Arandora Star.

Wearing Van Cleef jewellery a mystery set of gems.

She laughs at show, so she says, to all her new best friends.

The Waldorf and Claridge's are the places for a treat,

with landed gentry and aristocrats the old-money elites.

Or with the Bright Young Things down on Teddy's estate,

socialites have such fun and she participates.

But I know were you came from, I know who you are.

In my mind I see you there, cast in shadows full of gloom

in your dark and lonely room, whispering a prayer so clear

from your lips into Gods ear.................
