Arthur

Arthur
Long before disco
Remembering discotheque
A French thing
The place to be
Manhattan 1965
Was midtown Arthur
Chic hangout
Funded by
Sybil Burton’s divorce
Spending all her money
Fleeting sweet revenge
He split for Liz Taylor
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend
Bigger than the Ritz
Went clubbing on a
Double date
Me with elegant Patsy
Long blonde hair
Down to her ass
My French stud pal
Alain Didot
Movie star looks
Charisma of Belmondo
Later rich as Croesus
Whom the gods loved
Drowned in a pool
Banana Republic
Questionable circumstances
With sweet Susan
Jukebox heiress
Unlike The Dom
In St. Mark’s Place
Danced to live music
Ramsey Lewis that night
Big hit “In Crowd”
Catchy hooks
Bummer though
Patsy don’t surf
Me making moves
Caught Sybil’s eye
Things happen fast
In the Apple
Had her fifteen
The fame game
Nobody really cared
Always a newer joint
More bling and speed
Ramsey just passed
Reminded me of
Night on the town
Me and Alain
With our fabulous frails
Before he set sail
For wilder blue yonder
