Verse 1
D 
Miss Rosalind Huntington Day.
Bm 
A society girl, faintly gay.
D 
While dining one night,
said, God, let's get tight,
Aaug 
order brandy and wine right away.
D 
So they drank and they drank
Bm 
D 
and they drank and they drank
till they drank themselves to El Morocco.
Gm 
D 
How they got there, who would know,
who would care,
but they ordered four more sick,
Aaug 
sick, socko.
D 
Let us dance, Miss Day,
in her inimitable way,
getting up, overturning the table,
wee -wee -wee -wee,
just skip the debris,
let's dance before we're unable.
At the first pirouette,
the fashionable set whispered Rosalind
Gm 
stinking upset her ,
D 
but among those two ogle
there was a Hollywood mogul
who saw more than the rest
Aaug 
and said, I think I'll get her.
D 
So Rosalind Huntington Day,
very soon toward the west,
was away.
Now her name was the first thing to change.
Bm 
It became Rosalinda Lestrange.
A 
Her features were lightened,
D 
her hair was so brightened,
on the street she appeared to
Aaug 
have mange.
D 
She was sloppy and careless in dressing,
couldn't sing, couldn't dance,
poor at reading.
She photographed badly,
drank constantly, madly,
so they billed her the Lady of Reading.
Aaug 
D 
She loathed everything about pictures,
Bm 
excepting her large weekly check.
D 
This, she said, I'll acknowledge
to send mother through college,
Aaug 
that degenerated, enervated wreck  .
D 
Miss Rosalind Huntington Day.
As you see,
A 
was now well on her way.
D 
There came the glorious
Bm 
Hollywood dawn.
D 
Rosalind Lestrange, new cinema star,
mobbed at preview.
Clothes torn to shreds
by insane audience,
A 
buys ranch and raises ducks.
Rosalind Lestrange,
crowned greatest artist since Bernhardt,
D 
A 
buys yacht and raises salary.
D 
Rosalind Lestrange demands only Max Reinhardt buys
classics and raises Shakespeare
Rosalind Lestrange dying,
president declares legal holiday,
nation urged to prayer,
new slogan of the world
Aaug 
is your little boy on his knees
A 
D 
Miss Rosalind Huntington Day,
with life slyly slipping away,
said the show must go on
I have found
Quick quick quick, action,
Aaug 
camera, sound,
A 
D 
I owe so much to you people out here
which reminds me
send mother my check for this year my bonus
D 
for living in this god -awful waste
where the flowers don't smell
D 
and the fruit has no taste
where everyone's nearly as stupid as I
but oh so very few
G 
get the break and can die
D 
they covered her face
with a beautiful sheet all
made of gold threads
Bm 
the studios treat
D 
and they never admitted
the interesting fact that Throughout her career,
Rosalind couldn't act.
