It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
and it came undone
When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five
it was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days are short I'm in the autumn of the year And now I think of my life
as vintage wine from fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
and it poured sweet and clear It was a very good year
