The Last Great American Dynasty

[00:13.16] Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny

[00:18.66] Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis

[00:25.66] Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money

[00:31.68] And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"

[00:39.15] The wedding was charming, if a little gauche

[00:42.42] There's only so far new money goes

[00:45.18] They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"

[00:49.67] Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud

[00:53.67] The doctor had told him to settle down

[00:59.95] It must have been her fault his heart gave out

[01:03.17] And they said

[01:04.66] There goes the last great American dynasty

[01:10.94] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

[01:15.16] There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen

[01:22.16] She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[01:29.91] Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever

[01:36.92] Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city

[01:40.67] Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names

[01:46.18] And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet

[01:50.17] And losing on card game bets with Dalí

[01:53.93] And they said

[01:56.69] There goes the last great American dynasty

[02:00.92] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

[02:05.41] There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

[02:09.16] She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[02:20.91] They say she was seen on occasion

[02:25.17] Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea

[02:29.18] And in a feud with her neighbor

[02:31.65] She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

[02:35.18] Fifty years is a long time

[02:38.15] Holiday House sat quietly on that beach

[02:43.43] Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits

[02:45.92] And then it was bought by me

[02:54.93] Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been

[03:00.67] There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen

[03:05.18] I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[03:13.91] I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[03:18.93] A marvelous time ruining everything

[03:26.90] A marvelous time

[03:32.92] I had a marvelous time
