歌曲歌詞
Spoken Intro
Thank you thank you very much
I can't express it any other way
For with this awful trembling in my heart
I just can't find another thing to say
I'm happy that you liked the show
I'm grateful you liked me
And I'm sure to you the tributes seemed quite right
Song
But if you knew of all the years
Of hopes and dreams and tears
You'd know it didn't happen overnight
Huh overnight
I was born in a trunk
In the Princess Theater in Pocatello Idaho
It was during a matinee on Friday
And they used a makeup towel for my didee
When I first saw the light
It was pink and amber
Coming from the footlights on the stage
When my dad carried me out there to say hello
They tell me that I stopped the show
So I grew up in a crazy world of dressing rooms
And hotel rooms and waiting rooms
And rows behind-the-scenes
And I can't forget the endless rows
Of sleepless nights and heatless nights
And nights without a nickel in my jeans
But it's all in the game and way you play it
And you've gotta play the game you know
When you're born in a trunk at the Princess Theater
In Pocatello Idaho
At first I just stood and watched from the wings
That's all my mom and dad would allow
But as I got older I got a little bolder
And snuck out for their second bow
They kept me in the act because they needed me
To milk applause
Until one night they did a crazy thing
They left me out there all alone
Mama said you're on your own
And Papa shouted this is it kid Sing'
I'll get by
As long as I have you
Though there be rain and darkness too
I'll not complain I'll see it through
I learned very quickly the tricks of the trade
I practiced after everyone was gone
And with the tricks I learned traditions
And the hardest one of all is no matter what
The show must go on
As time went by I looked for jobs
And was kicked from pillar to post
I haunted all the agents' offices
And I almost ended up a ghost
I'm a sentimental sap that's all
What's the use of tryin' not to fall
I have no will you made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me
AGENT
No
ESTHER
I'm just like an apple on the bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
So what's the use you cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me
AGENT
