Emily Vandelay
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com She believe 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
