You're only a baby
You're lonely and maybe
Someday soon you'll know
The tears you are tasting
Are years you are wasting
Life's a bitter foe

With fate it's no use competing
Youth is so terribly fleeting
By dancing much faster
You're chancing disaster
Time alone will show

Poor little rich girl, you're a bewitched girl
Better take care
Laughing at danger, virtue a stranger
Better beware

The life you lead sets all your nеrves a-jangle
You love affairs arе in a hopeless tangle
Though you're a child, dear
Your life's a wild typhoon

In lives of leisure, the craze for pleasure
Steadily grows
Cocktails and laughter, but what comes after?
Nobody knows
You're weaving love into a mad jazz pattern
Ruled by pantaloon
Poor little rich girl
Don't drop a stitch too soon
