Her hair is solid gold… Her lips a sweet surprise…

… She’s got Betty Davis eyes.

Oops. I didn’t think I could manage to open a second window successfully from where I posted last night.

It’s _ **Harlow** _ gold…

But the weird thing is that I could have sworn I posted the misheard “hollow” rather than solid. (WTF?)

And the line I couldn’t quite remember was “Her hand are never cold…”

I kept thinking that “New York” had something to do with the third segment, but that’s further down.

[Here’ an interesting site](http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/16446/) that goes into meaning as well as lyrics.
