Stephen Sondheim - I'm Still Here (From follies) Lyrics

Send "I'm Still Here (From follies)" ringtone to your cell

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 been through Gandhi 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 Five Dionne babies Major Bowes

Had heebie-jeebies for Beebe's Bathysphere

I got 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

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've 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 sloe-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 and bum times I've seen 'em all

And my dear I'm still here

Flush 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
