And certainly nothing

Well, that was the palace of yesterday,
but the palace of today
may not be quite as active
as it once was.
But every now and then,
we get the tremendously
successful entertainers
who re -open the palace.
They bring us the one man or
one woman show,
and their act generally ends

Old Broadway.
You know, I've been trooping
ever since I was four years old.
I never had a childhood.
no dolls and games
and little girls to play with only little boys
which isn't quite the same
do you know what it is like to look for love you and you and you
D
an d you you you well I do and it's not good
I suppose it was because I was so pretty, clever,
sweet, dainty, and talented.
Such a little doll.
No one would touch me
with a 10 -foot pole.
All I had was money, fame,
a large annuity,
and real estate holdings in Beverly Hills.
A mighty poor substitute for
affection.
But let's leave sleeping dogs lay.
Tonight, you wonderful audience,
in answer to thousands and thousands
and thousands of requests,
here is little me trying to sing for you
my song of inspiration,
Somewhere There's a Little Blue Bird.

How did you like the song?
