Temporary Arrangement

Hey, Mr. Arnstein

Here's your ace

It's a temporary arrangement

When you're down

There's nowhere to go but up

I find that lady luck changes affection

Fortune's a fickle dame

Haven't run into them lately

But both of them know my name

It's a temporary estrangement

From the crystal dish and the silver knife

But there's another side, to the coin

Tomorrow night, tenderloin

'Cause a temporary arrangement

Is the only permanent thing in life

I find that lady luck changes affection

Fortune's a fickle dame

Haven't run into them lately

But both of them know my name

It's a temporary estrangement

From the crystal dish and the silver knife

'Cause a temporary arrangement

Is the only permanent thing

Only permanent thing

The only (permanent thing)

Only

Permanent thing!

Temporary, temporary, temporary

In life
