along the streets 
where a legend was born

It’s a Nineteen-Twenties tune—forgive me, I was born too soon,
Going to fake it anyway, and bring back yesterday.
Inka-dinka-do, that old soft shoe—and I danced with Georgia Brown.

And the stock...

Sometimes good, never amusing
it can turn you upside down
