Lyrics
In a statement released today Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis confirmed That her eighty-year-old aunt, Ms. Edith Bouvier Beale And her adult daughter, Edie Are living in squalid conditions In an East Hampton estate known as Grey Gardens The house that once played host to Howard Hughes and the Rockefellers Is now a refuge for fifty-two stray cats, a few rabid raccoons And its two reclusive inhabitants All living in an environment the health department calls "Unfit for human habitation" Mrs. Onassis described the situation as a "private family matter" And so we're left to ponder How could American royalty fall so far so fast? I found it, Mother darling I found your old record! She is the girl who has everything (Everything) She has the world on a string (On a string) Isn't it wonderful? (Meltingly lovely) God, aren't you just mad about your song? (As pure as the morn) I recorded it in 1941 (Venus reborn) I was very serious about my singing, loved it (Taming a...) Unicorn She is the girl who has everything You sang this song for me (Carry her off in her prime) I was the girl who had everything That's ancient history Yeah, everything minus the ring (Her youth's evanescence) I don't think people should get married (Makes haste of the essence) I don't believe in it at all Well if you can't get a man to propose to you You might as well be dead (Of the girl who has everything but time) I'll take a dog over a man any day You lived! I never lived Oh, you had your dancing! You were very good at that And you had music all the time She is the girl who has everything Talent and beauty Sublime The crowds and the clamor Aroused by her glamor Will fade like the echo of a chime She's the girl who has everything But time!
