Thank you, thank you very much I can't express it any other way For with this awful trembling in my heart I just can't find another thing to say I'm happy that you liked the show I'm grateful you liked me And I'm sure to you the tribute seemed quite right. But if you knew of all the years Of hopes and dreams and tears You'd know it didn't happen overnight Huh, overnight! I was born in a trunk In the Princess Theatre in Pocatella, Idaho It was during the matinee on Friday And they used a makeup towel for my didee When I first saw the light It was pink and amber Coming from the footlights on the stage When my dad carried me out there to say hello They told me that I stopped the show. So I grew up in a crazy world of dressing rooms And hotel rooms and waiting rooms And rooms behind-the-scenes. And I can't forget the endless rows Of sleepless nights and eatless nights And nights without a nickel in my jeans. But it's all in the game and the way you play it And you've got to play the game you know. When you're born in a trunk at the Princess Theatre In Pocatello, Idaho. At first I just stood and watched from the wings That's all my mom and dad would allow. But as I got older, I got a little bolder And snuck out for their second bow. They kept me in the act because they needed me To milk applause Until one night, they did a crazy thing They left me out there all alone Mama said 'you're on your own!' And Papa shouted 'this is it kid, sing!' I'll Get By Performed by Judy Garland I'll get by As long as I have you Though there be rain and darkness too I'll not complain, I'll see it through. I learned very quickly the tricks of the trade I practiced after everyone was gone And with the tricks, I learned traditions And the hardest one of all, is no matter what The show must go on! As time went by, I looked for jobs And was kicked from pillar to post I haunted all the agents offices And I almost ended up a ghost! You Took Advantage Of Me I'm a sentimental sap, that's all What's the use of trying not to fall I have no will, you made your kill 'Cause you took advantage of me Agent No! I'm just like an apple on the bough And you're gonna shake me down somehow So what's the use, you've cooked my goose 'Cause you took advantage of me Agent No! I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know My elbow from my ear I suffer something awful each time you go And much worse when you're near Here am I with all my bridges burned Just a babe in arms, where you're concerned So lock the doors, call me yours 'Cause you took advantage of me Agent Yes! Judy No! So I got into a tap show All I did was kick my feet You'd hardly call it a chance to sing But at least it was a chance to eat! Black Bottom Performed by Judy Garland They call it black bottom A new swisher A sure galloon An old sister They clap their hands and do the raggedy trot Hot! Old fellows with flamenco And young fellows the way they go They jump right in and give it all that they've got Then one night something happened Dame fortune showed her face The star got sick and I was told to go on in her place. But, she recovered. Oh well! Black bottom, a new rhythm When you spot'em, you go with'em And do that black, black, black, black bottom You wont be blue when you have got'em If you do that black, black, black, black bottom all day. But finally I got an offer to sing in New York And I wired I'm on my way I had visions that this would be A fabulous, famous cafe. Filled with high society, Elegant, and spruce. And I pictured me the epitome Of a very chic chanteuse. The Peanut Verdor Performed by Judy Garland Peanuts! Through every city, town, and country lane You'll hear him sing his Plaintive little strain And as he goes by, to you he'll say : Sing Melancholy Baby Peanuts! The little children like to trail along, They like to hear the peanut vendor's song, They all laugh with glee when he will say Sing Melancholy Baby My Melancholy Baby Performed by Judy Garland Come to me my melancholy baby Cuddle up and don't be blue All your fears are foolish fancies, maybe You know dear, that I'm in love with you. Every cloud must have a silver lining Wait until the sun shines through Smile my honey, dear While I kiss away each tear Or else I shall be melancholy too. My benefactor appeared with his card And at first, I thought he was fresh Huh, fresh! He was fresh from heaven all right He produced the show that gave me the chance To sing for you tonight Swanee Performed by Judy Garland Swanee, how I love you, how I love you My dear old Swanee I'd give the world to be among the folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven now my mammy's waitin' for me, Prayin' for me, down by the Swanee The folks up north will see me no more When I get to that Swanee shore Swanee, Swanee, I'm coming back to Swanee Mammy, mammy, I love the old folks at home I love ya Swanee! How I love you, how I love you My dear old Swanee I'd give the world if I could only be Sittin' on my mammy's knee I love the old folks, I love the young folks Oh my bunny, let me love ya more than Alabamy! Mammy, mammy, my dear old mammy Your wanderin' child will wander no more When I get to that Swanee shore So I can't quite be called overnight sensation For it started many years ago When I was born in a trunk at the Princess Theatre In Pocatello, Idaho.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
