Because we’re all alone
I guess we’ve got what they can’t use
We’ve sort of got those high society blues
It’s well known
Our invitations they refuse
We’ve sort of got those high society blues
This climbing a ladder, gets sadder
They’re laughing right at us
They simply high hat us
I guess we’re bad news
They won’t phone
Nobody calls to drink our booze
We’ve sort of got those high society blues.
