Life Upon the Wicked Stage - Jerome Kern
Life upon the wicked stage ain't ever
What a girl supposes
Stage door Johny's outraging over you with gems
And roses
When you let a-fella hold your hand
Which means an extra beer or sandwich
Everybody whispers Ain't her life a world
Though you're warned against the rule
Way ruining your reputation
When you played around the one night
Trade around the great big nation
Wild old man who give you jewels
And sables only live in Aesop's fables
Life upon the wicked stage is nothin' for a girl
I admit it's fun to smear my face with paint
Causing everyone to think I'm what I ain't
And I'd like to play a Demi Monday roll with soul
Ask the hero does he liked the way I lure
When I play a Hasie or a Parramore
Yet when once the gut feels down
My life is pure and how I dread it
Life upon the wicked stage
Ain't ever what a girl supposes
Stage door Johny's outraging over you with gems
And roses
Life upon the wicked stage ain't nothin' for a girl
