Down In The Depths

Down In The Depths - Johnny Hartman

Composed by：Cole Porter

Manhattan-I'm up a tree

The one I've most adored

Is bored

With me

Manhattan I'm awf'lly nice

Nice people dine with me

And sometime twice

Yet the only one in the world

That I'm mad about

Talks of somebody else

And walks out

With a million neon rainbows burning below me

And a million blazing taxis raising a roar

Here I sit above the town

Franking champaign

With a frown

Down in the depths on the ninetieth floor

While the crowds at El Morocco punish the parquet

And at the couples and the burning clamor for more

I'm deserted and depressed

In my regal eagle nest

Down in the depths on the ninetieth floor

When the only one you wanted wants another

What's the use of swank and cash in the bank galore

Why even the janitor's wife

Has a perfectly good love life

And here am I

Facing tomorrow

Alone with my sorrow

Down in the depths on the ninetieth floor
