Songtext
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 scanties
Three bucks a night was the pay
But I'm here
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
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
Been called a pinko
Commie tool
Got through it stinko
By my pool
I should've gone to an acting school
That seems clear
Still, someone said, "She's sincere"
So I'm here
