EMPTY TABLES: 1974

FOR EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH USE

(Frank Sinatra - has done the most popular rendition)

It's like singing to empty tables or a gallery that's full of ghosts, or like giving a great big party where no body shows but the host. That's what it's been like, baby; that's what it's ben like all right. With-out you around- to applaud me, evry night its closing night. And I'm doing the same old numbers, yes, and I'm telling the same stalejokes. Nut there's nothing out front but memries and a lot of transparent folk. Please call for a reservation, our favorite spot for two. 'Cause I'm singing to empty tables without you, without you, without you.
