Born In A Trunk (medley)

Thank you, thank you very much
 I can't express it any other way
 For with this awful trembling in my heart
 I just can't find another thing to say
 I'm happy that you liked the show
 I'm grateful you liked me
 And I'm sure to you the tribute seemed quite right.
 But if you knew of all the years
 Of hopes and dreams and tears
 You'd know it didn't happen overnight
 Huh, overnight!
 I was born in a trunk
 In the Princess Theatre in Pocatella, Idaho
 It was during the matinee on Friday
 And they used a makeup towel for my didee
 When I first saw the light
 It was pink and amber
 Coming from the footlights on the stage
 When my dad carried me out there to say hello
 They told me that I stopped the show.
 So I grew up in a crazy world of dressing rooms
 And hotel rooms and waiting rooms
 And rooms behind-the-scenes.
 And I can't forget the endless rows
 Of sleepless nights and eatless nights
 And nights without a nickel in my jeans.
 But it's all in the game and the way you play it
 And you've got to play the game you know.
 When you're born in a trunk at the Princess Theatre
 in Pocatello, Idaho.
 At first I just stood and watched from the wings
 That's all my mom and dad would allow.
 But as I got older, I got a little bolder
 And snuck out for their second bow.
 They kept me in the act because they needed me
 To milk applause
 Until one night, they did a crazy thing
 They left me out there all alone
 Mama said 'you're on your own!'
 And Papa shouted 'this is it kid, sing!'
 I'll Get By
 Performed by Judy Garland
 I'll get by
 As long as I have you
 Though there be rain and darkness too
 I'll not complain, I'll see it through.
 I learned very quickly the tricks of the trade
 I practiced after everyone was gone
 And with the tricks, I learned traditions
 And the hardest one of all, is no matter what
 The show must go on!
 As time went by, I looked for jobs
 And was kicked from pillar to post
 I haunted all the agents offices
 And I almost ended up a ghost!
 You Took Advantage Of Me
 I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
 What's the use of trying not to fall
 I have no will, you made your kill
 'Cause you took advantage of me
 Agent
 No!
 I'm just like an apple on the bough
 And you're gonna shake me down somehow
 So what's the use, you've cooked my goose
 'Cause you took advantage of me
 Agent
 No!
 I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
 My elbow from my ear
 I suffer something awful each time you go
 And much worse when you're near
 Here am I with all my bridges burned
 Just a babe in arms, where you're concerned
 So lock the doors, call me yours
 'Cause you took advantage of me
 Agent
 Yes!
 Judy
 No!
 So I got into a tap show
 All I did was kick my feet
 You'd hardly call it a chance to sing
 But at least it was a chance to eat!
 Black Bottom
 Performed by Judy Garland
 They call it black bottom
 A new swisher
 A sure galloon
 An old sister
 They clap their hands and do the raggedy trot
 Hot!
 Old fellows with flamenco
 And young fellows the way they go
 They jump right in and give it all that they've got
 Then one night something happened
 Dame fortune showed her face
 The star got sick and I was told to go on in her place.
 But, she recovered.
 Oh well!
 Black bottom, a new rhythm
 when you spot'em, you go with'em
 And do that black, black, black, black bottom
 You wont be blue when you have got'em
 If you do that black, black, black, black bottom all day.
 But finally I got an offer to sing in New York
 And I wired I'm on my way
 I had visions that this would be
 A fabulous, famous cafe.
 Filled with high society,
 Elegant, and spruce.
 And I pictured me the epitome
 Of a very chic chanteuse.
 The Peanut Verdor
 Performed by Judy Garland
 Peanuts!
 Through every city, town, and country lane
 You'll hear him sing his
 Plaintive little strain
 And as he goes by, to you he'll say
 (Male voice speaking): Sing Melancholy Baby
 Peanuts!
 The little children like to trail along,
 They like to hear the peanut vendor's song,
 They all laugh with glee when he will say
 (Male and Judy's voice speaking)
 Sing Melancholy Baby
 My Melancholy Baby
 Performed by Judy Garland
 Come to me my melancholy baby
 Cuddle up and don't be blue
 All your fears are foolish fancies, maybe
 You know dear, that I'm in love with you.
 Every cloud must have a silver lining
 Wait until the sun shines through
 Smile my honey, dear
 While I kiss away each tear
 Or else I shall be melancholy too.
 My benefactor appeared with his card
 And at first, I thought he was fresh
 Huh, fresh!
 He was fresh from heaven all right
 He produced the show that gave me the chance
 To sing for you tonight
 Swanee
 Performed by Judy Garland
 Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
 My dear old Swanee
 I'd give the world to be among the folks in
 D-I-X-I-E-ven now my mammy's waitin' for me,
 Prayin' for me, down by the Swanee
 The folks up north will see me no more
 When I get to that Swanee shore
 Swanee, Swanee, I'm coming back to Swanee
 Mammy, mammy, I love the old folks at home
 I love ya Swanee!
 How I love you, how I love you
 My dear old Swanee
 I'd give the world if I could only be
 Sittin' on my mammy's knee
 I love the old folks, I love the young folks
 Oh my bunny, let me love ya more than Alabamy!
 Mammy, mammy, my dear old mammy
 Your wanderin' child will wander no more
 When I get to that Swanee shore
 So I can't quite be called overnight sensation
 For it started many years ago
 When I was born in a trunk at the Princess Theatre
 In Pocatello, Idaho.
