Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作词 : Stephen Sondheim
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Stephen Sondheim
[00:11.076] Good times and bum times
[00:13.657] I've seen them all and, my dear
[00:18.237] I'm still here
[00:21.318] Plush velvet sometimes
[00:24.313] Sometimes just pretzels and beer
[00:28.863] But I'm here
[00:32.435] I've stuffed the dailies in my shoes
[00:37.313] Strummed ukuleles, sung the blues
[00:42.432] Seen all my dreams disappear
[00:47.134] But I'm here
[00:53.036] I've slept in shanties
[00:55.632] Guest of the W.P.A
[01:00.068] But I'm here
[01:03.376] Danced in my scanties
[01:05.801] Three bucks a night was the pay
[01:10.113] But I'm here
[01:13.474] I've stood on bread lines with the best
[01:18.423] Watched while the headlines did the rest
[01:23.879] In the depression, was I depressed?
[01:28.503] Nowhere near
[01:34.248] I met a big financier and I'm here
[01:44.259] I've been through Gandhi, Windsor and Wally's affair
[01:50.726] And I'm here
[01:54.214] Amos 'n' Andy, Mah-jongg and platinum hair
[02:00.910] And I'm here
[02:04.051] I got through Abie's Irish Rose,
[02:08.959] five Dionne babies, Major Bowes
[02:14.078] Had heebie-jeebies for Beebe's Bathysphere
[02:23.989] I lived through Shirley Temple, and I'm here
[02:33.603] I've gotten through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover
[02:38.869] Gee, that was fun and a half
[02:43.650] When you've been through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover
[02:48.944] Anything else is a laugh
[02:59.621] I've been through Reno,
[03:01.937] I've been through Beverly Hills
[03:06.410] And I'm here
[03:09.796] Reefers and vino, rest cures, religion and pills
[03:16.926] And I'm here
[03:20.042] Been called a 'Pinko', commie tool
[03:24.765] Got through it stinko by my pool
[03:30.289] I should've gone to an acting school
[03:35.632] That seems clear
[03:40.137] Still someone said, "She's sincere"
[03:44.423] So I'm here
[03:50.124] Black sable one day
[03:52.392] Next day it goes into hock
[03:56.779] But I'm here
[03:59.856] Top billing Monday
[04:02.234] Tuesday, you're touring in stock
[04:06.218] But I'm here
[04:09.269] First you're another sloe-eyed vamp
[04:14.228] Then someone's mother, then you're camp
[04:18.841] Then you career from career to career
[04:29.337] I'm almost through my memoirs, and I'm here
[04:38.037] I've gotten through, "Hey, lady, aren't you whoozis?
[04:43.347] Wow, what a looker you were"
[04:47.672] Or better yet, "Sorry, I thought you were whoozis
[04:53.567] Whatever happened to her?"
[04:58.437] Good times and bum times
[05:00.477] I've seen 'em all and, my dear
[05:04.640] I'm still here
[05:07.713] Plush velvet sometimes
[05:10.105] Sometimes just pretzels and beer
[05:14.241] But I'm here
[05:17.361] I've run the gamut, A to Z
[05:22.087] Three cheers and dammit, c'est la vie
[05:26.787] I got through all of last year
[05:31.066] And I'm here
[05:36.611] Lord knows, at least I was there
[05:40.639] And I'm here
[05:44.648] Look who's here
[05:48.788] I'm still here
