She said, "Brooklyn's too damn cold
It gets hard to warm one's ears"
I said, "Well, I've never been"
She said, "Well, you've never been"
So we went down to the place
Where we're used to feeling good
Did you hear about that actor?
Twenty-eight and in the papers
It was news, it was news
As I took my evening smoke
I stood and stared into your room
Were you home? were you home?
Did you hear about that actor?
Twenty-eight and in the papers
It wasn't me, it wasn't you
Let's fall in love and get married
Oh, you got something
You could be the only one
Let's fall in love and get married
Oh, my Aunt Polly
Always was a noble one
Let's fall in love and get married
Oh, you're so young and
Life is so short and
Oh, you're a noble one
She said, "Brooklyn's too damn cold
It gets hard to warm one's ears"
I said, "Well, I've never been"
I lied and said I've never been
And you smiled like a mourner
With the crow's feet in the corners
Of your blues, of your blues
When you heard about that actor
Twenty-eight and in the papers
It wasn't me, it wasn't you
It was news but it wasn't you
Let's fall in love and get married
Oh, you got something
You could be the only one
Let's fall in love and get married
Oh, my Aunt Polly
Always was a noble one
Let's fall in love and get married
Oh, you're so young and
Life is so short and
Oh, you're a noble one
Won't you smile for me
Shake those crow's feet
And let me take you to the place
Where we're used to feeling good
