Well, on that long ago matinee,
Bb
D
encouraged me to continue on
in a musical career.
A
D
So I plodded along through the late 20s,
A

the 30s, an d the 40s,
F#
D
A
and old market openings
or bus stops,
until finally in the mid -50s or late 50s
I had reached what I rather
D
F#
to call the zenith of my career.
and the driver of the cab
was a an ample chap
and he kept looking around
finally he said say mister said
anybody ever tell you you look
like Bing Crosby
G
E
F#
I said oh no no no there's no
I'm a much better look
so he didn't say any more
D
B
for oh a minute or two
and finally says well let me tell
said something, mister,
if you had his money.
But then, really the shock
D
B
that really put me back in the action again,
about a year ago out of the stage door,
of people around.
And one fella come up
and started looking at me
B
very close.
He looked me all over and he said, and say,
didn't you used to be Bing Crosby?
You know, that's a little strong.
So I decided to give up
the shooting
and the fishing and the travel and the golf
and how lucky I was to be
able to get an engagement here
in what is really the Mecca of all
strolling players,
the Palladium.
Here I am and how happy I am,
I can't even tell you.
I really guess that's enough time
spent poking about
among the embers
of the dear dead past.
We'd better get to work
and sing some songs.
And I have a new song here,
and it's a song,
the lyrics of which seem to me
to be particularly appropriate.
Peter?
How did you like the song?
