[00:10.794]Good times and bum times,
[00:13.302]I've seen them all and, my dear,
[00:16.675]I'm still here.
[00:19.473]Plush velvet sometimes,
[00:22.980]Sometimes just pretzels and beer,
[00:26.289]But I'm here.
[00:29.027]I've stuffed the dailies
[00:31.931]In my shoes.
[00:34.381]Strummed ukuleles,
[00:36.390]Sung the blues,
[00:39.401]Seen all my dreams disappear,
[00:42.856]But I'm here.
[00:48.573]I've slept in shanties,
[00:50.481]Guest of the ,
[00:54.560]But I'm here.
[00:57.329]Danced in my scanties,
[01:00.533]Three bucks a night was the pay,
[01:03.847]But I'm here.
[01:06.597]I've stood on bread lines
[01:08.984]With the best,
[01:11.330]Watched while the headlines
[01:13.987]Did the rest.
[01:16.440]In the Depression was I depressed?
[01:20.538]Nowhere near.
[01:25.546]I met a big financier
[01:28.959]And I'm here.
[01:34.796]I've been through Gandhi,
[01:37.035]Windsor and Wally's affair,
[01:40.605]And I'm here.
[01:43.250]Amos 'n' Andy,
[01:45.609]Mah-jongg and platinum hair,
[01:49.510]And I'm here.
[01:52.369]I got through Abie's
[01:54.758]Irish Rose,
[01:56.831]Five Dionne babies,
[01:59.125]Major Bowes,
[02:01.379]Had heebie-jeebies
[02:03.437]For Beebe's
[02:04.825]Bathysphere.
[02:09.923]I lived through Brenda Frazier
[02:14.068]And I'm here.
[02:18.331]I've gotten through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover,
[02:23.001]Gee, that was fun and a half.
[02:26.995]When you've been through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover,
[02:32.273]Anything else is a laugh.
[02:41.516]I've been through Reno.
[02:43.921]I've been through Beverly Hills,
[02:47.047]And I'm here.
[02:49.741]Reefers and vino,
[02:52.036]Rest cures, religion and pills,
[02:56.758]And I'm here
[02:59.085]Been called a pinko
[03:01.186]Commie tool,
[03:02.986]Got through it stinko
[03:05.393]By my pool.
[03:07.809]I should have gone to an acting school.
[03:11.653]That seems clear,
[03:16.492]Still, someone said, "She's sincere,"
[03:19.800]So I'm here.
[03:24.833]Black sable one day.
[03:27.059]Next day it goes into hock,
[03:30.795]But I'm here.
[03:33.436]Top billing Monday,
[03:35.735]Tuesday you're touring in stock,
[03:39.564]But I'm here.
[03:42.072]First you're another
[03:44.070]Sloe-eyed vamp,
[03:46.367]Then someone's mother,
[03:48.655]Then you're camp.
[03:50.675]Then you career from career
[03:54.278]To career.
[03:59.144]I'm almost through my memoirs.

[04:11.787]Wow! What a looker you were."
[04:15.672]Or, better yet, "Sorry, I thought you were whoozis.
[04:21.146]Whatever happened to her?"
[04:24.593]Good times and bum times,
[04:26.924]I've seen 'em all and, my dear,
[04:30.233]I'm still here.
[04:32.882]Flush velvet sometimes,
[04:35.302]Sometimes just pretzels and beer,
[04:38.596]But I'm here.
[04:41.107]I've run the gamut.
[04:43.116]A to Z.
[04:45.205]Three cheers and dammit,
[04:47.640]C'est la vie.
[04:49.420]I got through all of last year
[04:53.053]And I'm here.
