Bless your solemn, unending virtue

Lest your savior up desert you

Fred Astaire slicking back his oily hair, snort benzedrine off of a mirror, slaps her ass,

E G#m
meet their luscious daughters in the smalls beneath the boughs of birches
[Chorus]
Em E
And Judy Garland hit the bathroom floor of her cold apartment 'bove a Chelsea store

and Judy (Judy, Judy, Judy)
