Tom Paxton - Victoria Dines Alone lyrics
[Tom Paxton - Victoria Dines Alone lyrics]
Victoria begins her meal with
Greens and tomatoes
Reading the newspaper carefully
Folded beside her
Hanging her coat by her table
And letting it hide her
Victoria dines alone
Her dress is old-fashioned
Victoria watches her weight
Each meal is rationed salisbury steak
And news of the student disorders
Parsnips in butter
And armies patrolling their borders
Victoria's feet are tired
She wants to go home
She orders her coffee with cream
And drinks it alone
Victoria dines alone with Hollywood fables
The waiters are counting the
Time and polishing tables
Victoria's reading of strong
Astrological forces cheesecake and coffee
And columns of Reno divorces
Victoria's feet are tired
She wants to go home
She orders her coffee with cream
And drinks it alone
Victoria dines alone, she skips the potatoes
