lyrics

Emily Vandelay lived by the sea
In a great big old house with her chimpanzee
Her 50's furniture, her American cars
Her vintage whiskey and her Cuban cigars
Always walking around with a long dark cape,
Victorian shirts and Charles the ape
She was quite the catch and a character
With her wide eyes bright and infectious laughter

Wherever she went, she caught all the eyes
With her self confidence and her hollywood smile
But she had never shown how much scared she was
She hid it all behind from dusk till dawn
Dark make up and her frilly clothes

Once she had loved, of a love only once there is
Though it's long gone, she's never been at ease
Since she's been wooed, but also doomed as none would stay
She always got bored, so very sored, sent them away
She believes she is better off by herself with her memories

Emily had read about a million books
She could easily tell wannabees and crooks
She had traveled all the world in planes
Buses, donkeys, boats and trains
Any crowd she could charm and amuse
With her wits and words she knew how to choose
She was quite the catch and a character
With her wide eyes bright and infectious laughter

Wherever she went, she caught all the eyes
With her self confidence and her hollywood smile
But she had never shown how much scared she was
She hid it all behind from dusk till dawn
Dark make up and her frilly clothes
