Painting the Town

We danced violet nights into day, And walked the sunny bay. We dined champagne and caviar, And drove far in your beautiful car! Everyone noticed when we hit the scene, Like actors on a movie screen. Each hot party sent invitations. Had friends in many nations. I owned lots of lovely dresses; Had the acquaintance of princesses! Each day we made the society page. Our lives were quite the rage. A blur of operas, theaters, concerts; We were socially witty, always pert. Committed no little social crimes. Trend setters, we graced The Times. Day and evening, we painted the town! Wearily, rosy sunsets went down. No one will ever forget our names. Such was our fame!
