Well I´ll be damned
No I won´t be damned
Because I have been damned
And I won´t be damned anymore!
I walked out
He didn´t walk out
It was me who walked out
It was me closing the door

"Hello, Operator?" I´d like to place a long distance call to a Mr.
Billy Rose in Cleveland Ohio. At the Cleveland Hotel. Um, no, no, no,
no. I´ll wait."

Billy´s an alley cat that´s for sure
Nick´s from a horsier class
But I´d rather be with a cat´s meow
Than a genuine thouroughbred horse´s ass!

"Um, that´s alright. No. No message. Thank you."

One is fantasy, one is real
One is make believe, one is real
One is picture book,
More like comic book
One is real
Billy is real
I should have seen that before

All my life on the stage
I´m a big success
All my life off the stage
What a mess!
Oh what a mess!
All my life on the stage
How they cheer the clown
All my life off the stage
I kept closing out of town

When I´m up there I´m a great big star
And I get the heftiest lift
Howdy-Do!
Up there I´m a great big star
A solid and qualified hit
I´m gonna take what I do up there
And I´m gonna do it down here!

Quick as a lightning flash
I´m moving straight ahead
I´m gonna be a smash
I´m gonna knock ´em dead.......
