The Last Great American Dynasty

[00:12.64] Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny

[00:18.40] Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis

[00:25.90] Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money

[00:31.15] And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"

[00:38.65] The wedding was charming, if a little gauche

[00:41.90] There's only so far new money goes

[00:45.04] They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"

[00:51.54] Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud

[00:54.29] The doctor had told him to settle down

[00:57.79] It must have been her fault his heart gave out

[01:02.79] And they said

[01:04.29] There goes the last great American dynasty

[01:10.53] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

[01:17.03] There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen

[01:22.79] She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[01:30.54] Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever

[01:36.17] Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city

[01:42.78] Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names

[01:45.79] And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet

[01:50.04] And losing on card game bets with Dalí

[01:54.67] And they said

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

[02:02.68] Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been

[02:09.17] There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

[02:14.68] She had a marvelous time ruining everything

[02:22.18] They say she was seen on occasion

[02:24.93] Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea

[02:28.68] And in a feud with her neighbor

[02:31.17] She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green

[02:35.18] Fifty years is a long time

[02:37.93] Holiday House sat quietly on that beach

[02:41.68] Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits

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

[02:54.67] Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been

[03:01.17] There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen

[03:06.68] I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[03:12.93] I had a marvelous time ruining everything

[03:19.93] A marvelous time ruining everything

[03:26.43] A marvelous time

[03:32.57] I had a marvelous time
