Aint That Something
[Verse 1]
I see the Chinese lanterns sway in the evening
A frontier city at night
I see the cowhands loafing along the boardwalk
The señoritas catching the light

[Chorus]
Ain't that something, the world surviving you?
Ain't that something? We are definitely doomed

[Verse 2]
At the Belasco Theatre ghosts of the Follies pirouette into the night
The Oriental Curio Company is open late for all your Eastern delights

[Chorus]
Ain't that something, the world surviving you?
Ain't that something? Bolt me out of the blue
And when the lightning strikes it won’t be a minute too soon

[Verse 3]
Now, I've been Illinois'd, I've been Omaha'd
Think I'm hitting the road
Back to the haunted city of angels
Its solar powers and demons galore
[Chorus]
Ain't that something, the world surviving you?
Ain't that something? We are definitely doomed
And when the lightning strikes it won’t be a minute too soon
