"The Not So Great Gatsby"
( l y r i c s )
Verse 1:
He too saw the promise
Of a distant light
But unlike him
He denounced the gold hat
And unlike her
She did not denounce him

Verse 2:
His parties were simpler
But she was content
With what he could offer
A gift for hope
For a life together
And the promise of a dream

Chorus:
Don’t want no Daisy
That would make him crazy
He’s perfectly happy
To be a not so great Gatsby
A not so great Gatsby

Verse 3:
Even now he remembered
The sad thing that happened to them
The deprivation
The desperation
The foul dust
That floated in their wakes

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 4:
Then through the smoke
He peered into her eyes
And saw the light there
Green as ever
And knew that they'd turn out
All right at the end

[Repeat Chorus 2x]
