Little Girl Blue
When I was very young
the world was younger then I
As merry as a carousel
the circus tend was strung
with ev'ry star in the sky
above the ring i loved so well
now the young world has grown old
gone are the tinsel and gold.
Sit there and count your fingers,
what can you do?
Old girl you are through.
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue.
Sit there and count the raindrops
falling on you.
It's time you knew,
all you can count on is the raindrops
that fall on little girl blue.
No used, old girl,
you may as well surrender.
Your hope is getting slender,
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blueboy to cheer little girl blue?
