Don Juan

by Leiber and Stoller

The house we moved in...
The house we grooved in...
The way we waltzed across those marble floors!
You used to look deluxe
In your white tie and tux
Up in that big white house (that is no longer yours)!

Don Juan,
Your money’s gone!
And when your money’s gone,
Don, your baby’s gone!
Don Juan,
Your baby’s gone!
Stiff upper lip now, Don;
You’ll have to carry on!

The yacht we sailed on...
The yacht we whaled on...
I’ve got to tell you, Don, I loved that yacht!
You used to look so cute
In your white sailor suit
Aboard that big white yacht (that you no longer got)!

Don Juan,
When you had money,
Don Juan,
I was your honey!
But, Don,
It’s gone!
And so
Am I!

The jet we cruised on...
The jet we boozed on...
That was the highest I have ever flown!
Your kisses were so sweet
At thirty thousand feet
Up in that big white jet (that you no longer own)!

Don Juan,
Your money’s gone!
And when your money’s gone,
Don, your baby’s gone!
Don Juan,
Your baby’s gone!
Stiff upper lip now, Don;
You’ll have to carry on!
