Hey, Mr. Arnstein
Here's your ace
It's a temporary arrangement
When you're down
There's nowhere to go but up
I find that lady luck changes affection
Fortune's a fickle dame
Haven't run into them lately
But both of them know my name
It's a temporary estrangement
From the crystal dish and the silver knife
There's another side to the coin
Tomorrow night, tenderloin
'Cause a temporary arrangement
Is the only permanent thing in life
I find that lady luck changes affection
Fortune's a fickle dame
Haven't run into them lately
But both of them know my name
It's a temporary estrangement
From the crystal dish and the silver knife
'Cause a temporary arrangement
Is the only permanent thing
Only permanent thing
(The only)
The only permanent thing
(Only)
Permanent thing!
Temporary, temporary, temporary
