I played the state,
|
The capital,
|
And people said
|
Don't stop,
|
Until you play the Palace,
|
you haven't played the top.
|
For years I had it preached to me,
|
And drummed into my head,
|
Until you play the Palace,
|
You might as well be dead.
|
A team of hoofers was the headline,
|
At the Majestic, down in Dallas.
|
But they canceled the day,
|
Their agent called to say,
|
You can open the bill at the palace.
|
So, it became the Hall of Fame,
|
The Mecca of the trade.
|
When you had played the Palace,
|
You knew that you were made.
|
So, I hope you understand my wondrous thrill,
|
Cuz Vaudevilles back as the Palace,
|
And I'm on the bill.
|
|
Shine on
|
Shine on
|
Harvest moon
|
Up in the sky
|
I aint had no lovin
|
Since January
|
Febuary
|
June or July
|
|
Some of these days
|
Your gonna miss me honey
|
Some of these days
|
Your gonna feel so lonely
|
You miss my hugging
|
You miss my kissing
|
You'll miss me honey
|
When I'm far away
|
|
Oh my man
|
I love him so
|
He'll never know
|
All my life is just despaire
|
But i dont care
|
When he takes me in his arms
|
The world is bright alright
|
|
I dont care
|
I dont care
|
If people frown
|
On me
|
I'm happy go lucky
|
They say that I'm plucky
|
Contented and carefree,
|
I dont care
|
I dont care
|
If he's a clerk or just a millionare,
|
If im not successful
|
It wont be degressful
|
Cuz I dont care.
|
|
And all around me
|
I hear voices that I can¡¯t ignore.
|
The voices of the stars
|
Who played the Palace long before.
|
The stars who entertained you,
|
Until the rafters rang.
|
You dont need there names
|
For the whole world acclaims them
|
For the wonderful songs they sang.
|
Theres Eddie Canter,
|
Georgie Jessle,
|
Louie Holts,
|
Johnson and olson.
|
Cowerson boys,
|
Howerdson boys
|
Aand that singing fool Al Jolson.
|
And so with deep humility,
|
I stand in front of you
|
I¡¯m proud to play the palace,
|
It¡¯s like a dream come true,
|
Which is why I¡¯d like to shout it up and down.
|
Just to tell Broadway
|
That the two a day is back in town.
