the last great american dynasty

[00:00.12] •••

[00:12.51] Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny

[00:18.26] Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis

[00:25.75] Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name, and money

[00:31.05] And the town said "How did a middle class divorcée do it?"

[00:38.51] The wedding was charming, if a little gauche

[00:41.76] There's only so far new money goes

[00:45.00] They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"

[00:51.42] Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud

[00:54.56] The doctor had told him to settle down

[00:58.06] It must have been her fault his heart gave out

[01:02.55] And they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"

[01:10.56] Who knows, if she never showed up what could've been

[01:17.20] There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen

[01:22.60] She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[01:30.48] Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever

[01:36.62] Flew in all the Bitch Pack friends from the city

[01:42.36] Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names

[01:45.61] And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet

[01:49.98] And losing on card game bets with Dalí

[01:54.40] And they said "There goes the last great American dynasty"

[02:02.65] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

[02:09.15] There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

[02:14.66] She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[02:22.15] They say she was seen on occasion

[02:24.90] Pacing the rocks staring out at the midnight sea

[02:28.40] And in a feud with her neighbor

[02:31.39] She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

[02:34.90] Fifty years is a long time

[02:37.90] Holiday House sat quietly on that beach

[02:41.41] Free of women with madness

[02:44.15] Their men and bad habits, and then it was bought by me

[02:54.54] Who knows, if I never showed up what could've been

[03:00.94] There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen

[03:06.41] I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[03:12.94] I had a marvelous time

[03:18.30] Ruining everything

[03:19.93] A marvelous time

[03:24.69] Ruining everything

[03:26.45] A marvelous time

[03:32.45] I had a marvelous time
