Empty Pocket Waltz

Shall we dine out, my dear?

And dance the night away?

Don't say you're tired, you know you haven't worked all day

We've paid the rent

Finally, and we're free to be free

Come now, and waltz The Empty Pocket Waltz with me

Let's close our door and make believe we're all alone

Grandma can't hear

And baby's sleeping like a stone

We paid the doctor his fee, and we're free to be free

Come now, and waltz The Empty Pocket Waltz with me

Why so unhappy?

Don't be that way

Maybe they'll make me Queen for a day!

You'll find a job, probably, or be free, or be free

To waltz again, this Empty Pocket Waltz, with me
