[ELLIE]
Why do stage struck maidens clamor
To be actin' in the drammer?
[GIRLS]
We've heard say
You are gay
Night and day
[ELLIE]
Oh, go away
[GIRLS]
We drink water from a dipper
You drink champagne from a slipper
[ELLIE]
Though it seems
Crool to bust
All your dreams
Still, I must
Here's the truth I tell you:
(Refrain)
Life upon the wicked stage ain't ever what a girl supposes
Stage-door Johnnies aren't raging over you with gems and roses
When you let a feller hold your hand (which
Means an extra beer or sandwich)
Everyone whispers, "Ain't her life a whirl?"
