Dress Rehearsal Rag Judy Collins

Got up sometime in the afternoon
And you didn't feel like much
You said to yourself, "Where are you, golden boy?
Where is your famous golden touch?"

I thought you knew where
All the elephants lie down
I thought you were the crown prince
Of all the wheels in Ivory Town

Look at your body now
Well, there's nothing much to save
And a bitter voice in the mirror says
"Hey, Prince, you need a shave"

Now if you can manage to get
Your trembling fingers to behave
Why don't you try unwrapping
A stainless steel razor blade?

That's right, it's come to this
It's come to this
And wasn't it a long way down?
And wasn't it a strange way down?

There's no hot water
And the cold is running thin
Well, what do you expect
From the kind of places you've been living in?
