Ain’t That Something

Lyrics

[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 [Post-Chorus] And when the lightning strikes, it won't be a minute too soon [Harmonizing Break] [Verse 3] Now, I've been Illinois'd, I've been Omaha'd Think I'm hittin' 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 [Post-Chorus] And when the lightning strikes it won't be a minute too soon [Harmonizing Outro]
