Lyrics

Marmelstein, stung
 There's a name almost as tough as mine
 Which is Streisand with an S, right?
 Like sand on the beach
 And I still get Streisan, Streizen, you know, with a Z
 My friend Liza has the the Z, I'm Streisand with an S, you know?
 I just love it when people say my name right, which is so rare (Miss Streis)
 Miss Streis
 Mr. Ziegfield? Is that you Mr. Ziegfield?
 It's Ziegfeld, no I
 Oh right, how could I do that, that's a terrible thing, I'm sorry (Miss Streis, I'm supposed to pick your material)
 It's not your place to do that
 Why do you always have to be difficult?
 Well, I'm not trying to be difficult, I just have my own ideas
 Why don't you just give me a chance?
 Good night, Miss Streiss (No, wait a minute Mr. Ziegfield-feld)
 You're Jewish, right? (So?)
 So, suppose all you ever had for breakfast was onion rolls
 And all of a sudden, one morning in walks a bagel
 I mean, you'd take a look at it and say "what is that?"
 Until you've tried it, so that's my trouble (What's your trouble?)
 I'm a bagel on a plate full of onion rolls
 Miss Streis
 Yes?
 Who do you think you are?
 Well
 I could go far
 But no one knows it (Bye)
 Wait, they're gonna hear a voice
 A silver flute, ah hah, ah hah
 They'll cheer each toot (Hey, that kid is terrific, yeah)
 When I expose it
 Now, can't you see to look at me
 That I'm a natural Camille
 As Camille I just feel
 I've so much to offer
 Listen Mr. Z, I know I'd be divine
 Because I'm a natural cougher (Ahoo - ahay - ahey)
 Some ain't got it not a lump
 I'm a great big clump
 Who's wearing second hand hats
 Second hand clothes
 That's why they call me
 Second hand rose
 Even our piano in the parlor
 Father bought for ten cents on the dollar
 Second hand pearls, I'm wearing
 Second hand curls, I never get a single thing that's new
 Even Jake the plumber, he's the man I adore
 Had the nerve to tell me he's been married before
 Everyone knows that I'm just rose, second hand rose
 From second avenue
 From second ave-
 Who is the pip with piz-azz?
 Who is all ginger and jazz?
 Who is as glamorous as?
 Who's an American Beauty rose?
 With an American Beauty nose?
 And ten American Beauty toes?
 Eyes on the target, and wham
 One shot, one whim shot and bam
 Hey, Mr. Ziegfeld
 Here I am
 I'll march my band out
 I'll beat my drum
 And if I'm fanned out
 Your turn at bat, sir
 At least I didn't fake it hat, sir
 I guess I didn't make it
 Get ready for me, life
 'Cause I'm a commer
 I simply gotta march
 My heart's a drummer
 Nobody, no, nobody
 Is gonna rain on my parade
 Ow, thank you, that's good
 Thank you, thank you
 You liked that one, huh?
 Thank you
 Alright
 Does it seem like six years ago?
 Some of you were here before six years ago?
 Well, oh, oh
 It seems like only five years ago
