Good times and bum 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
I've stuffed the dailies in my shoes
Strummed ukuleles, 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
Danced in my scannies
Three bucks a night was the pay
But I'm here
I've stood in 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 been through Gandy
Windsor and Wally's affair
And I'm here
Amos 'n' Andy
Mah Jongg and platinum hair
And I'm here
I got through Abie's Irish Rose
Fived young babies, made jabos
Had heebie jeebies for Beebe's bathysphere
I lived through Shirley Temple
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
ย
I've been through Reno
I've been through Beverly Hills
And I'm here
Reefers and vino
Rest cures, religion and pills
And I'm here
Been called a pinko, commie tool
Got through it stinko by my pool
I should have gone to an acting school
That seems clear
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 slow-eyed vamp
Then someone's mother, then you're camp
Then you career from career 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, bum 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
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 was there
And I'm here
Look who's here
I'm still here
