[Verse 1]
Who thanked the Lord for the clothes
That she wore and mended?
Nellie with the big old-fashioned eyes
Who won the heart of a crowd
Tore apart, took a bow?
Nellie, there's a different world backstage
[Refrain]
I see the floodlights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
[Verse 2]
She said she really could not stay
Nellie, she had a brand-new play to play
And so she paints her face and smiles
And she'll be someone else in a while
[Refrain]
I see the floodlights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
[Interlude]
