DENIAL IN WINTER (January 15)
(with apologies to Carly Simon)
I won ov-er the Party
(NOT part of some Putin plot!)
Bew-t-ful hair exquisitely brushed,
my skin tinted apricot
With one eye on the mirror
(am I great, or what?)
And all the girls wish I'd ask them to “date me”
ask them to “date me”, but
I’m not vain
It's just that everything is about me
It's just that everything is about me
I’m not vain,
I know the song is always about me
So true!
So true!
That one I had years ago
That one I had years ago
when she still pretended “naive”
I told her she had a real pretty pair
and whichever wife I’d leave
But you know I lied, of course,
it’s my pedigree
I may be scum, but these are such dumb broads,
such God-damn dumb broads, but
I’m not vain
I know the song is always about me
I’m not vain,
I just know ALL songs are always about me
So true!
So true!
So true!
I may be scum, but these are such dumb broads,
So true!
I may be scum, but these are such dumb broads,
such fuck-ing dumb broads, but
I’m not vain
I know the song is always about me
I’m not vain,
I just know ALL songs are always about me
So true!
So true!
When I am Em-per-or I’ll wear a toga
When I am Em-per-or I’ll wear a toga
to hide my enormous butt
And if I play golf wearing a “dress”
then I can cheat when I putt
I’m in the limelight all the time
but when I’m not, I’m with
some Russian guy
some Russian guy
or the wife of a close friend,
wife of a close friend, but
I’m not vain
I just know everything is about me
I’m not vain,
I just know each and every song is about me
So true!
So true!
So true!
I’m not vain,
I’m not vain,
I just know each and every song is about me
I’m not vain,
I just know each and every song is about me
I’m not vain. . .
I’m not vain. . .
