David roth nights at the chez[00:00:13]

Some thirty odd years ago when I was three[00:00:14]

My sister a couple years older than me[00:00:17]

We'd get to go down to the old chez paree[00:00:23]

On the north side of downtown chicago[00:00:27]

My dad worked the door with a wide open hand[00:00:33]

Tuxedo ed and tailored[00:00:37]

A most handsome man[00:00:40]

My mother auditioned to sing with the band[00:00:44]

The most beautiful girl in the room[00:00:49]

All the performers who came there to play[00:00:55]

Sinatra and bennett and young mel torme[00:00:59]

They'd hang from the rafters my father would say[00:01:06]

On those magical nights at the chez[00:01:11]

One evening that winter my sister and me[00:01:23]

All dressed up and bow tied and cute as could be[00:01:28]

We found ourselves leaning on opposite knees[00:01:34]

Of a man with a rather large nose[00:01:38]

A smelly cigar in the one hand he held[00:01:44]

A signature hat made of floppy gray felt[00:01:48]

He scooped us both up in his arms as he knelt[00:01:54]

And he tickled me right through my suit[00:01:59]

All the performers who came there to play[00:02:05]

Jimmy durante and young danny kaye[00:02:10]

They'd hang from the rafters my father would say[00:02:16]

On those magical nights at the chez[00:02:20]

So there on mom's dresser this photograph sits[00:02:55]

Of durante and debbie and david as kids[00:03:00]

Before life got tricky[00:03:06]

Good god how it did[00:03:08]

And we scattered like leaves in the wind[00:03:11]

Dad stayed in chicago[00:03:17]

Mom moved to l[00:03:20]

A[00:03:22]

Deborah's in portland and I'm day to day[00:03:22]

And the memories and miles seem so far away[00:03:29]

From those innocent nights at the chez[00:03:34]

So here's to the family[00:03:40]

God bless every one[00:03:42]

Though the memories and moments were not always fun[00:03:45]

Somehow we survived them and learned to move on[00:03:52]

Forgiving what nobody knew[00:03:58]

All the performers who came there to play[00:04:04]

Sophie tucker[00:04:09]

Nat king cole[00:04:10]

Maurice chevalier[00:04:12]

And struggling young families finding their way[00:04:17]

Through those magical nights[00:04:22]

Those innocent nights[00:04:26]

Those magical nights[00:04:30]

At the chez[00:04:34]
