Such a lovely place, such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel alifornia ny time of year.. you can find it here Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends How they danced in the courtyard sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember, Some dance to forget The laddagh Songbook Bracket 11 9
