Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis
Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money
And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"
Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis
Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money
And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"
The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
There's only so far new money goes
They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
The doctor had told him to settle down
It must have been her fault his heart gave out
[Chorus]
And they said
There goes the last great American dynasty
Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
She had a marvelous time ruining everything
[Verse 2]
Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever
Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city
Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names
And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet
And losing on card game bets with Dalí
[Chorus]
And they said
There goes the last great American dynasty
Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen
She had a marvelous time ruining everything
[Bridge]
They say she was seen on occasion
Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea
And in a feud with her neighbor
She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
Fifty years is a long time
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits
And then it was bought by me
[Chorus]
Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been
There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen
I had a marvelous time ruining everything
[Outro]
I had a marvelous time ruining everything
A marvelous time ruining everything
A marvelous time
I had a marvelous time
Rebeka se dovezla popodnevnim vozom, sunce je sijalo
Zbog kuće na obali sa kosim krovom zaboravila je Sent Luis
Bil je bio naslednik kompanije Standard ojl i njenog novca
I grad je pričao: "Kako je raspuštenica iz srednje klase ovo uspela?"
Venčanje je bilo dražesno, možda malo kič
Kako drugačije kod novih bogataša
Izabrali su dom i nazvali ga Kuća za odmor
Zabave su im bile sa ukusom, možda malo preglasne
Doktor mu je rekao da se smiri
Sigurno je ona kriva što ga je srce izdalo
[Refren]
I pričali su
Eto kako je nestala poslednja velika američka dinastija
Ko zna šta bi bilo da se ona nikad nije pojavila
Eto najluđe žene koju je ovaj grad ikad video
Ludo se zabavila dok je sve uništavala
[Druga strofa]
Rebeka je zauvek odustala od Roud Ajlanda
Dovela iz grada sve drugarice iz Družine k*čki
Napunila bazen šampanjcem i plivala s poznatim imenima
I trošila novac na momke i balet
I gubila na kartama od Dalija
[Refren]
I pričali su
Eto kako je nestala poslednja velika američka dinastija
Ko zna šta bi bilo da se ona nikad nije pojavila
Eto najbesramnije žene koju je ovaj grad ikad video
Ludo se zabavila dok je sve uništavala
[Treća strofa]
Pričali su da su je povremeno viđali
Kako šeta po stenama i pilji u more usred noći
A tokom svađe s komšijom
Ukrala mu je psa i ofarbala ga u boju limete
Pedeset godina je dug period
Kuća za odmor je stajala tiho na toj obali
Bez ludih žena, njihovih muškaraca i loših navika
A onda sam je kupila ja
[Refren]
Ko zna šta bi bilo da se ja nikad nisam pojavila
Eto najglasnije žene koju je ovaj grad ikad video
Ludo sam se zabavila dok sam sve uništavala
Ludo sam se zabavila dok sam sve uništavala
Ludo se zabavila dok sam sve uništavala
Ludo se zabavila
Ludo sam se zabavila
