Down In The Depths Lyrics - The Complete Recordings: 1952-1962 - Blossom Dearie

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 even twice. 

Yet the only one in the world 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 

In my pet pailletted gown 

Down in the depths on the ninetieth floor. 

While the crowds at El Morocco punish the parquet 

And at '21' the couples 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.
