the last great american dynasty

[00:12.67] Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny

[00:18.18] Her saltbox house on the coast  took  her mind off  St. Louis

[00:24.91] Bill was the heir to  the Standard Oil name and money

[00:31.19] And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"

[00:38.19] The wedding was charming, if a little gauche

[00:41.41] There's only so far new money goes

[00:44.66] They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"

[00:51.17] Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud

[00:54.43] The doctor had told him to settle down

[00:57.66] It must have been her fault his heart gave out

[01:02.93] And they said

[01:03.66] There goes the last great American dynasty

[01:10.17] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

[01:16.68] There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen

[01:22.41] She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[01:30.66] Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever

[01:36.91] Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city

[01:42.66] Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names

[01:45.66] And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet

[01:49.93] And losing on card game bets with Dali

[01:54.92] And they said

[01:56.18] There goes the last great American dynasty

[02:01.92] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

[02:08.66] There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

[02:14.41] She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[02:22.44] They say she was seen on occasion

[02:24.41] Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea

[02:28.66] And in a feud with her neighbor

[02:31.16] She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

[02:34.91] Fifty years is a long time

[02:37.41] Holiday House sat quietly on that beach

[02:41.41] Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits

[02:45.93] And then it was bought by me

[02:54.41] Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been

[03:00.66] There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen

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

[03:13.16] I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[03:19.69] A marvelous time ruining everything

[03:26.41] A marvelous time

[03:32.91] I had a marvelous time
