And now for our national anthem
Into the gilded lobby of the Plaza Hotel she came
The bell captain gasped her name
When he offered her a smoke
Garbo spoke
She said, "Got any change?" (What can you give her?)
"Any spare change?" (What can you give her?)
"How 'bout a five?" (What can you give her?)
"I'll pay you back" (What can you give her?)
I couldn't move, breathe, look around
Drawn to her Grand Design
Then Garbo's gaze met mine
Her radiance made me weep
She brushed my cheek
And said, "Got any change?" (What can you give her?)
"Any spare change?" (What can you give her?)
"How 'bout a twenty?" (What can you give her?)
"I'll pay you back" (What can you give her?)
With that form you love
And that face so weary and wise
And that look of faint amusement
Still swimming in her eyes
She said, "This dump used to have some class"
I said, "I wouldn't know, I'm too young
But hey, it's okay to be broke once in a while
When you haven't had a job since 1941"
♪
Out of the gilded lobby of the Plaza Hotel she passed
With my wallet in her legendary grasp
As her shadow filled the hall
I thought I heard her call
"Anybody got any change?" (What can you give her?)
"Any spare change?" (What can you give her?)
"Write me a check" (What can you give her?)
"I'll pay you back" (What can you give her?)
She said, "Got any change?" (What can you give her?)
"Any spare change?" (What can you give her?)
"I'll pay you back" (What can you give her?)
"When I give blood" (What can you give her?)
