lirik lagu show boat ensemble (1966) – life upon the wicked stage
[ellie]
why do stage struck maidens clamor
to be actin’ in the drammer?
[girls]
we’ve heard say
you are g-y
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?”
though you’re warned against a roue ruining your reputation
i have played around the one night trade around a great big nation
wild old men who give you jewels and sables
only live in aesop’s fables
life upon the wicked stage ain’t nothin’ for a girl
[girls]
though we’ve listened to you moan and grieve, you
must pardon us if we do not believe you
there is no doubt you’re
crazy about your art
[ellie]
i admit it’s fun to smear my face with paint
causing everyone to think i’m what i ain’t
and i like to play a demi-mondy role- with soul!
ask the hero does he like the way i lure
when i play a hussy or a paramour;
yet when once the curtain’s down my life is pure-
and how i dread it!
[girls]
(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
[ellie]
if some gentleman would talk with reason
i would cancel all next season-
life upon the wicked stage ain’t nothin’ for a girl
[girls]
you’ll be back the season after
