Chorus:

You're dining and drinking and dancing
With the shadows of yesterday's stars;
In the dressing rooms of Barrymore and Bernhardt,
You'll find the latest thing in cocktail bars.
A boy and a girl do a tango
'Mid the ashes of Warfield's cigars;
E. H. Sothern comes with Marlowe to weave a romance;
While you dine and you drink and you dance,
With the shadows of yesterday's stars.
