Eddy Arnold - Bally-hoo Days lyrics

BALLY-HOO DAYS Writers Larry Henley, Steve Pippin, Rafe VanHoy, Johnny Slate, Larry Keith Sitting at the stage door of the Palace Looking down the alley two ways One way takes my mind back home to Alice The other to my ballyhoo days There was a time my name had swept the nation But now my job is sweeping cafes I wonder how much living I have wasted Clinging to my ballyhoo days Ballyhoo days Ballyhoo days God almighty when I go Please let me go dancing ... Dancing I've seen life from both sides of the curtain And the only life for me is the stage But nowadays my work is more uncertain And filled with dreams of ballyhoo days Ballyhoo days Ballyhoo days God almighty when I go Please let me go dancing ... Dancing ... Dancing ... In a ballyhoo way Like my ballyhoo days
