Kevin Froleiks - F Ska Fitzgerald

Once upon a time in West Egg Long Island
A man named Gatsby was living all alone
You can see him standing out on his dock with a cocktail
Staring across the bay where a green light shone
He threw a big party in his backyard
The 1920's never roared so hard
The Great Gatsby was a jazz age fable
Written by this guy, F. Ska Fitzgerald
Gatsby was in love with Tom's wife, Daisy
Tom was seeing George's wife, Myrtle, on the side
So Nick helped Daisy and Gatsby get together
Beneath Dr. Eckleburg's watchful eyes
They thought they were doing it on the sly
Didn't take long before Tom caught wise
That's the main plot of this jazz age fable
Written by this guy, F. Ska Fitzgerald
Apparently, as you can see
Morality, in the 1920s
Was more complicated than years before
Ever since the end of the Great War
Bootleg whiskey and bathtub gin
Fueled this era's degradation
Public drunkenness and sex
But it's Long Island what'd you expect?
Tom was furious and Gatsby was jealous
But Daisy insisted that she loved them both
She drove home drunk after the confrontation
And Myrtle got run over in the middle of the road
Tom told George it was that Gatsby dude
So George shot Gatsby in the swimming pool
Such a sad ending to this jazz age fable
Written by this guy, F. Ska Fitzgerald
Turn on your green light
Turn on your green light
Turn on your green light
Turn on your green light
Turn on your green light
Turn on your green light
Turn on your green light
Turn on your green light
