Well i'll be damned No i won't be damned Because i have been damned And i won't be damned anymore! I walked out He didn't walk out It was me who walked out It was me closing the door "hello, operator?" i'd like to place a long distance call to a mr. Billy rose in cleveland ohio. at the cleveland hotel. um, no, no, no, No. i'll wait." Billy's an alley cat that's for sure Nick's from a horsier cla** But i'd rather be with a cat's meow Than a genuine thouroughbred horse's a**! "um, that's alright. no. no message. thank you." One is fantasy, one is real One is make believe, one is real One is picture book,
More like comic book One is real Billy is real I should have seen that before All my life on the stage I'm a big success All my life off the stage What a mess! Oh what a mess! All my life on the stage How they cheer the clown All my life off the stage I kept closing out of town When i'm up there i'm a great big star And i get the heftiest lift Howdy-do! Up there i'm a great big star A solid and qualified hit I'm gonna take what i do up there And i'm gonna do it down here! Quick as a lightning flash I'm moving straight ahead I'm gonna be a smash I'm gonna knock 'em dead.......
