In the Palms
Saturday night
At the Breakers,
Chandeliers, champaign,
Society in the Palms,
Tuxedos, evening gowns,
Winston jewelry,
A small society orchestra
Playing a tango,
The idle rich living it up,
And I, a poor refugee,
Came pennyless to America,
Here, amongst them;
There is an irony in this,
Somewhere,
Can't find it though...
