When Sinatra Played Juarez
Sinatra's Juarez: A Tale of Lost Glamour and Fading Elegance
Lyrics
Uncle Tommy Gabriel, he played the blue piano
Uncle Tommy Gabriel played the blue piano.
While Frank and Ava Gardener danced the wild Juaurenzi tango
Frank and Ava Gardener danced the wild Juaurenzi tango.
Those were truly golden years my Uncle Tommy said
Uncle Tommy reminisces about the truly golden years.
But everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez
Things have deteriorated since Sinatra played Juarez.
I wish life was still like that my Uncle Tommy said
Uncle Tommy wishes life was still like the golden years.
But everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez
Everything has gone downhill since Sinatra played Juarez.
You could get a cheap divorce, get your Pontiac tuck and rolled
You could easily get a divorce and modify your car.
You could take your dolly to the dog track in her cheap chinchilla stole.
You could take your partner to the dog track in luxury.
The Fiesta Club, The Chinese Palace, The Old Kentucky Bar
Various places like The Fiesta Club, The Chinese Palace, The Old Kentucky Bar.
The matadors and baseball heroes and great big movie stars.
Reference to a mix of cultural and entertainment venues.
Those were truly golden years my Uncle Tommy said,
Uncle Tommy nostalgically reflects on the golden years.
Cause everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez
Declares that everything has gone downhill since Sinatra played Juarez.
Now Uncle Tommy Gabriel he still plays Fats Domino
Uncle Tommy still plays Fats Domino and speaks Spanglish.
He speaks that border Spanglish well, Heowns a carpet store
Owns a carpet store and lives on a pecan farm.
He lives out on his pecan farm, I don't cross the bridge he says
Uncle Tommy avoids crossing the bridge due to the deteriorated state.
Cause everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez
Expresses the decline since Sinatra played Juarez.
Those were truly golden years my Uncle Tommy said,
Reflects on the golden years nostalgically.
But everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez
States that everything has gone downhill since Sinatra played Juarez.
Everything's gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez
Reiterates that everything has gone straight to Hell since Sinatra played Juarez.
