You are called the forgotten man

And have you heard the story of,
A boy, a girl, unrequited love
(sounds like your soap opera, tune in tomorrow) I may cry
(what a swell party this is)

(what furs, what rocks!) they’re bootiful.
(why I’ve never seen such gaity) neither have i.
(it’s all just too, too risque really)

She got pinched in the astor bar
