Latter Day Lady
Latter Day Lady
There’s a Mona Lisa grin to her lips,
As she rocks in her nursing home chair;
Rocking, Rocking.
Her smiling eyes focus on the wall,
But there’s no TV there, she’s
Rocking, Rocking.
Should you see what she sees,
You would dance with a Ziegfield girl;
Rocking, Rocking.
Her grin is a bit more discerning,
William Powell kissing her secretly;
Rocking, Rocking.
Her family so proud wished she’d wed;
She preferred the glamourous life.
Rocking, Rocking.
At the Oscars she’s standing to applause;
A red carpet no stranger to her.
Rocking, Rocking.
The Cary Grant we never knew,
Is holding this girl in his arms, and
They’re rocking, rocking, rocking, rocking……
