"High Society, 1933"
Posted: Sun Aug 28, 2016 11:16 pm
I've always had a connection with the late 20's and early 30's. It started when I was just a little girl. I watched all the old movies and felt that I had lived at that time. I've had dreams that I think are from a past life (mine or maybe even tuning in on someone else). I think I fell in love with Clark Gable when I was 5

He's a fascinating animal, so suave and debonair,
He looks like Clark Gable and dances like Astaire;
The ladies all adore him in his white tie and tails,
They all hope to have a chance with this fascinating male.
You'll find him out every night, martini glass in hand,
Jiving at the Savoy to the Benny Goodman Band;
'Jazz babies' dressed in ermine all give him the eye,
They parade past his table with long seductive sighs.
He sees a woman in the crowd dressed in diamonds and mink;
He calls a waiter to his table to order her a drink.
She is a stunning beauty, red lips and platinum hair,
Finger-waves and smoky eyes with an indifferent, sexy stare.
When her drink arrives, the waiter points to him,
With a sulty smile, she runs her finger 'round the rim;
The fascinating animal, now, leads her by the hand
Onto the crowded dance floor and the Benny Goodman Band.
Romance is in the air tonight, you can see it in their eyes;
Dancing cheek to cheek while the band plays a lullaby;
Another night, a different romance in "High Society",
How wonderful to be alive in 1933!
