Palace Montage - Judy Garland
I played the state, The capital, And people said Don't stop, Until you play the Palace, you haven't played the top. For years I had it preached to me, And drummed into my head, Until you play the Palace, You might as well be dead. A team of hoofers was the headline, At the Majestic, down in Dallas. But they canceled the day, Their agent called to say, You can open the bill at the palace. So, it became the Hall of Fame, The Mecca of the trade. When you had played the Palace, You knew that you were made. So, I hope you understand my wondrous thrill, 'cause Vaudevilles back as the Palace, And I'm on the bill. Shine on Shine on Harvest moon Up in the sky I aint had no lovin Since January Febuary June or July Some of these days Your gonna miss me honey Some of these days Your gonna feel so lonely You miss my hugging You miss my kissing You'll miss me honey When I'm far away Oh my man I love him so He'll never know All my life is just despaire But i dont care When he takes me in his arms The world is bright alright I dont care I dont care If people frown On me I'm happy go lucky They say that I'm plucky Contented and carefree, I dont care I dont care If he's a clerk or just a millionare, If im not successful It wont be degressful 'cause I dont care. And all around me I hear voices that I can't ignore. The voices of the stars Who played the Palace long before. The stars who entertained you, Until the rafters rang. You dont need there names For the whole world acclaims them For the wonderful songs they sang. Theres Eddie Canter, Georgie Jessle, Louie Holts, Johnson and olson. Cowerson boys, Howerdson boys Aand that singing fool Al Jolson. And so with deep humility, I stand in front of you I'm proud to play the palace, It's like a dream come true, Which is why I'd like to shout it up and down. Just to tell Broadway That the two a day is back in town.
