'88 Ethan Frome

[Verse 1]
Masterpiece of catastrophic love
In a small New England town
Ninety-five pages of tragedy
Difficult to put down

[Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome
La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome

[Verse 2]
Came to light in 1911
Overnight lit-fic classic
Bringing fame to Edith Wharton
And fortune to Scribner's sons

[Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome
La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome

[Verse 3]
I first read you on my birthday
And again umpteen more times
When will they make you a musical
There have been far worse crimes

[Chorus]
La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome
La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome

Ethan Frome
Ethan Frome
Ethan Frome
Ethan Frome
