Sunday morning with the New York Times
                     D
The sun is shining in my penthouse suite

My lady love laid down some lines
                       G
They reach from Culver Beach to Easy Street

Verse:

Before the mirror you apply your cream
                  D
Cosmetic secrets of eternal youth

We lead such a sweet existence

But I'm reaching out to you in vain
              Em
You're disappearing in the distance
    D    C    G
Of this alien terrain

Your voice keeps telling me that life is sweet
                   C
I watch your star flash into the sky
                 Em   G
Crash down to earth again on Easy Street
