Lyrics[]
Sequins jazz and satin gloves,
Oh, the 20s, so much here to love!
But sister, can you spare some change?
I lost my fur on the stock exchange!
Now I'm in a tough position,
Repossessed possessions,
Now I find this prohibition
instant Great Depression.
Everything's in black and white,
But don't get sick or you might say bye-bye,
Oh, you'll find the 20s killing,
'Cause we got no penicillin!
Oh, the 20s, so much here to love!
