《Born In a Trunk Medley - Swanee - Born in a Trunk - I’ll get By - You Took Advantage (HD Digitally Remastered 2010)》歌词

[00:00:00] Spoken Intro

[00:00:02] Thank you thank you very much

[00:00:04] I can't express it any other way

[00:00:07] For with this awful trembling in my heart

[00:01:10] I just can't find another thing to say

[00:01:15] I'm happy that you liked the show

[00:01:18] I'm grateful you liked me

[00:01:21] And I'm sure to you the tributes seemed quite right

[00:01:25] Song

[00:01:27] But if you knew of all the years

[00:01:32] Of hopes and dreams and tears

[00:01:37] You'd know it didn't happen overnight

[00:01:48] Huh overnight

[00:01:54] I was born in a trunk

[00:01:59] In the Princess Theater in Pocatello Idaho

[00:02:10] It was during a matinee on Friday

[00:02:18] And they used a makeup towel for my didee

[00:02:26] When I first saw the light

[00:02:29] It was pink and amber

[00:02:34] Coming from the footlights on the stage

[00:02:42] When my dad carried me out there to say hello

[00:02:50] They tell me that I stopped the show

[00:02:56] So I grew up in a crazy world of dressing rooms

[00:03:02] And hotel rooms and waiting rooms

[00:03:06] And rows behind-the-scenes

[00:03:08] And I can't forget the endless rows

[00:03:15] Of sleepless nights and heatless nights

[00:03:18] And nights without a nickel in my jeans

[00:03:27] But it's all in the game and way you play it

[00:03:35] And you've gotta play the game you know

[00:03:43] When you're born in a trunk at the Princess Theater

[00:03:52] In Pocatello Idaho

[00:04:06] At first I just stood and watched from the wings

[00:04:09] That's all my mom and dad would allow

[00:04:17] But as I got older I got a little bolder

[00:04:20] And snuck out for their second bow

[00:04:30] They kept me in the act because they needed me

[00:04:32] To milk applause

[00:04:34] Until one night they did a crazy thing

[00:04:41] They left me out there all alone

[00:04:43] Mama said you're on your own

[00:04:45] And Papa shouted this is it kid Sing'

[00:04:58] I'll get by

[00:05:03] As long as I have you

[00:05:12] Though there be rain and darkness too

[00:05:21] I'll not complain I'll see it through

[00:05:34] I learned very quickly the tricks of the trade

[00:05:38] I practiced after everyone was gone

[00:05:45] And with the tricks I learned traditions

[00:05:48] And the hardest one of all is no matter what

[00:05:53] The show must go on

[00:06:00] As time went by I looked for jobs

[00:06:05] And was kicked from pillar to post

[00:06:10] I haunted all the agents' offices

[00:06:15] And I almost ended up a ghost

[00:06:30] I'm a sentimental sap that's all

[00:06:32] What's the use of tryin' not to fall

[00:06:34] I have no will you made your kill

[00:06:37] 'Cause you took advantage of me

[00:06:39] AGENT

[00:06:42] No

[00:06:50] ESTHER

[00:06:51] I'm just like an apple on the bough

[00:06:53] And you're gonna shake me down somehow

[00:06:55] So what's the use you cooked my goose

[00:06:58] 'Cause you took advantage of me

[00:07:00] AGENT

[00:07:08] No

[00:07:09] ESTHER

[00:07:09] I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know

[00:07:12] My elbow from my ear

[00:07:15] Suffer something awful each time you go

[00:07:17] But it's much worse when you're near

[00:07:20] Here am I with all my bridges burned

[00:07:22] Just a babe in arms where you're concerned

[00:07:25] So lock the doors call me yours

[00:07:28] 'Cause you took advantage of me

[00:07:32] AGENT

[00:07:33] Yes

[00:07:34] ESTHER

[00:07:35] No

[00:07:44] So I got into a tab show

[00:07:49] All I did was kick my feet

[00:07:53] You'd hardly call it a chance to sing

[00:07:57] But at least it was a chance to eat

[00:08:06] They call it black bottom

[00:08:08] A new swisher

[00:08:09] A sure galloon

[00:08:10] An old sister

[00:08:11] They clap their hands and do a raggedy trot

[00:08:16] Hot

[00:08:18] And young fellows with flamenco

[00:08:21] And young fellows the way they go

[00:08:22] They jump right in and give it all that they've got

[00:08:28] Then one night something happened

[00:08:30] Dame fortune showed her face

[00:08:33] The star got sick and I was told to go on in her place

[00:08:46] But she recovered

[00:08:51] Oh well

[00:08:53] Song

[00:08:53] Black bottom a new rhythm

[00:08:55] When you spot 'em you go with 'em

[00:08:57] And do that black black black black bottom

[00:09:00] You won't be blue when you have got 'em

[00:09:02] If you do that black black black black bottom all day

[00:09:09] But finally I got an offer to sing in New York

[00:09:13] And I wired them I'm on my way

[00:09:17] I had visions that this would be

[00:09:19] A fabulous famous cafe

[00:09:22] Filled with high society

[00:09:27] Elegant and spruce

[00:09:30] And I pictured me the epitome

[00:09:34] Of a very chic chanteuse

[00:09:39] Peanuts

[00:09:45] Through every city town and country lane

[00:09:48] You hear him sing his

[00:09:49] Plaintive little strain

[00:09:50] And as he goes by to you he'll say

[00:09:53] Male voice speaking

[00:09:54] Sing Melancholy Baby

[00:09:56] ESTHER

[00:09:57] Peanuts

[00:10:03] The little children like to trail along

[00:10:06] They like to hear the peanut vendor's song

[00:10:08] They all laugh with glee when he will say

[00:10:10] Male and Esther's voice speaking

[00:10:11] Sing Melancholy Baby

[00:10:14] ESTHER

[00:10:15] Come to me my melancholy baby

[00:10:28] Cuddle up and don't be blue

[00:10:38] All your fears are foolish fancies maybe

[00:10:51] You know dear that I'm in love with you

[00:11:05] Every cloud must have a silver lining

[00:11:19] Wait until the sun shines through

[00:11:30] Smile my honey dear

[00:11:36] While I kiss away each tear

[00:11:46] Or else I shall be melancholy too

[00:12:06] My benefactor appeared with his card

[00:12:09] And at first I thought he was fresh

[00:12:11] Huh fresh

[00:12:13] Song

[00:12:13] He was fresh from heaven all right

[00:12:17] He produced the show that gave me the chance

[00:12:22] To sing for you tonight

[00:12:27] Swanee how I love you how I love you

[00:12:32] My dear old Swanee

[00:12:35] I'd give the world to be among the folks in

[00:12:42] D-I-X-I-E-ven now my mammy's waitin' for me

[00:12:46] Prayin' for me down by the Swanee

[00:12:50] The folks up north will see me no more

[00:12:54] When I get to that Swanee shore

[00:12:58] Swanee Swanee I'm coming back to Swanee

[00:13:07] Mammy Mammy I love the old folks at home

[00:13:12] I loves ya Swanee

[00:13:18] How I love you how I love you

[00:13:20] My dear old Swanee

[00:13:23] I'd give the world if I could only be

[00:13:29] Sittin' on my mammy's knee

[00:13:31] I love the old folks I love the young folks

[00:13:39] Oh my bunny let me love ya more than Alabamy

[00:13:46] Mammy Mammy my dear old mammy

[00:13:47] Your wanderin' child will wander no more

[00:13:52] When I get to that Swanee shore

[00:14:17] So I can't quite be called overnight sensation

[00:14:25] For it started many years ago

[00:14:32] When I was born in a trunk at the Princess Theater

[00:14:42] In Pocatello Idaho
