| Good times and bad times
|
| I’ve seen them all
|
| And my dear, I’m still here
|
| Plush velvet sometimes
|
| Sometimes just pretzels and beer
|
| But I’m here
|
| Oh, I’ve stuffed the dailies in my shoes
|
| Strummed ukuleles, I’ve sung the blues
|
| Seen all my dreams disappear
|
| But I’m here
|
| I’ve slept in shanties
|
| Guest of the W.P.A
|
| But I’m here
|
| I danced in my scanties
|
| Three bucks a night was the pay
|
| But I’m here
|
| Oh, I’ve stood on bread lines with the best
|
| Watched while the headlines did the rest
|
| In the depression was I depressed?
|
| Nowhere near
|
| I met a big financier
|
| And I’m here
|
| I’ve gotten through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover
|
| Gee, that was fun and a half
|
| When you’ve been through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover
|
| Anything else is a laugh
|
| Oh, I’ve been through Reno
|
| I’ve been through Beverly Hills
|
| And I’m here
|
| Reefers and vino
|
| Rest cures, religion, and pills
|
| But I’m here
|
| I’ve been called a 'Pinko', commie tool
|
| Got through it stinko by my pool
|
| I should’ve gone to an acting school
|
| Well, that seems clear
|
| Oh, still someone said, «She's sincere»
|
| So I’m here
|
| Black sable one day
|
| Next day it goes into hock
|
| But I’m here
|
| Top billing Monday
|
| Tuesday you’re touring in stock
|
| But I’m here
|
| First, you’re another sloe-eyed vamp
|
| Then someone’s mother, then you’re camp
|
| And then you career from career
|
| Hey, to career
|
| I’m almost through my memoirs
|
| And I’m here
|
| I’ve gotten through
|
| «Hey, lady, aren’t you whoozis? |
| Wow, what a looker you were»
|
| Or better yet
|
| «Sorry, I thought you were whoozis. |
| Whatever happened to her?»
|
| Good times and bum times
|
| I’ve seen 'em all
|
| And I’m still here
|
| Plush velvet sometimes
|
| Sometimes just pretzels and beer
|
| But I’m here
|
| I’ve run the gamut, A to Z
|
| Three cheers and dammit, c’est la vie
|
| I got through all of last year
|
| And I’m here
|
| Lord knows, at least I’ve been there
|
| And I’m here
|
| Look who’s here
|
| I’m still here
|
| Kurt Hummel is here
|
| Whoo, yeah |
