Single in the city, single in my heart
The Toast of Tulsa walks out into the crowd
It has been decided deep within my brain
Titled on this paper, pressed within this frame
I toast her from afar
Attentively, I've spent the season by the bar
Watching her turn down minor parts
Envy of the masses, spotlights in their eyes
Ravenously vapid, they pray for her demise
They would break the frame, grab and steal the parchment
Scan, erase her name, insert their own, enlarge it
Her equipoise has a tendency
To rouse from slumber a boy in Tennessee
Reticent in oracy
But please raise a glass with me:
Joy Alethea, here's to you
Whether you're down or to the moon
Yes, I would fly and land with you
