Burnett T-bone You Could Look It Up Lyrics

You Could Look It Up Lyrics

she seemed to appear

 a sultry baggage of about nineteen

 she said her name was

 daisy buchanan and it might have been

 her eyes were limpid pools

 her mouth a scarlet wound

 

 she strolled through the room

 the dance floor parted like the pharoah's sea

 she stopped at the bar

 got one mint julep and brought it to me

 she looked sort of shy and all

 just like lauren bacall

 

      you could look it up

 

 she crossed to the door

 looked at me sideways over her shoulders

 tossed back her titan hair

 and lit the cigarette in her holder

 she didn't have to say a word

 a dear man overheard

 

      you could look it up
