Ritz - Mr Rogers & the Make Believe Friends

Have you seen the well-to-do Up on Lenox Avenue On that famous thoroughfare With their noses in the air High hats and narrow collars White spats and fifteen dollars Spending every dime On a wonderful time If you're blue and you don't know where to go to Why don't you go where Harlem flits Puttin' on the ritz Spangled gowns upon the bevy of high brows From down the levee, all misfits Puttin' on the ritz And that's where each and every Lulu Bell goes Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus Rubbing elbows Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee And see them spend their last two bits Puttin' on the ritz Have you seen the well-to-do Up on Lenox Avenue On that famous thoroughfare With their noses in the air High hats and narrow collars White spats and fifteen dollars Spending every dime For a wonderful time If you're blue and you don't know where to go to Why don't you go where fashion sits Puttin' on the ritz Spangled gowns upon a bevy of high brows From down the levee, all misfits Puttin' on the ritz That's where each and every Lulu Bell goes Every Thursday evening with her swell beaus Rubbing elbows Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee And see them spend their last two bits Puttin' on the ritz

Of all the thoughts Running in my head She's shot in pastels And I'm better off dead A bitter poison Killing me instead On a screensaver The constant running picture In the back of my mind And if I find out Just what's under that dress She'll up and leave you Overcome and distressed Bitter remedy For the displeased and depressed On a screensaver The constant running picture In the back of my mind Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre With you in June Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre With you with you Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre To feel in tune Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre With you with you Now I'm tied up Bluntly made unaware The smell of violence Permeating the air You're incandescent In my depths of despair On a screensaver The constant running picture In the back of my mind Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre With you in June Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre With you with you Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre To feel in tune Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre With you with you Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre With you in June Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre In two with you Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre To feel in June Smashing rembrandts At the Louvre With you Adieu

What will I do when you're gone? Who's gonna tell me the truth? Who's gonna finish the stories I start The way you always do? When somebody knocks at the door Someone new walks in I will smile and shake their hands But you can't make old friends You can't make old friends Can't make old friends It was me and you, since way back when But you can't make old friends How will I sing when you are gone? 'Cause it won't sound the same Who'll join in on those harmony parts When I call your name? You can't make old friends Can't make old friends It was you and me, since way back when You can't make old friends When Saint Peter opens the gate And you come walking in I'll be there just waiting for you 'Cause you can't make old friends 'Cause you can't make old friends, no, no And when I'm out on the stage all alone And I hear the music begin We all know the show must go on But you can't make old friends, no, no You can't make old friends Can't make old friends And you and me, will be young again You can't make old friends You and me, will be together again 'Cause we both know, we'll still be old friends You can't make old friends Not the way we have always been

Is it too late for comfort? My whole world has come undone And you're on the run from me Is it too late to fix this? These hopeless memories Of how things used to be I want you so bad And all that we had So please, help me see It's make believe You always walk away You never wanna stay Well, that's okay We'll do it this way, your way You're always paranoid I'm not your fucking toy Well, that's okay We'll do it this way, your way... Things are so different And I'm feeling so alone And you won't pick up your phone You seem so distant You've lost the drive inside And I can't give you a better life I want you so bad And all that we had So please help me see It's make believe You always walk away You never wanna stay But that's okay We'll do it this way, your way You're always paranoid I'm not your fucking toy But that's okay We'll do it this way, your way So cold inside I'm alive, I'm alive It's over tonight Just let it die, let it die You always walk away You never wanna stay But that's okay We'll do it this way, your way You're always paranoid I'm not your fucking toy But that's okay We'll do it this way, your way
