Lyrics
Ballyhoo Days
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sitting at the stage door of the Palace
Looking down the alley two ways
One way takes my mind back home to Alice
The other to my ballyhoo days
There was a time my name had swept the nation
But now my job is sweeping cafes
I wonder how much living I have wasted
Clinging to my ballyhoo days
Ballyhoo days
Ballyhoo days
God almighty when I go
Please let me go dancing ...
Dancing
I've seen life from both sides of the curtain
And the only life for me is the stage
But nowadays my work is more uncertain
And filled with dreams of ballyhoo days
Ballyhoo days
Ballyhoo days
God almighty when I go
Please let me go dancing ...
Dancing ...
Dancing ...
In a ballyhoo way
Like my ballyhoo days
