Given up booze, given up coke, given up girls, don't even smoke. Got a bad break and wound up broke, Jesus, my life is one sad joke . . .
You got nothing to hit but the heights!
Good things get better, bad get worse. Wait, I think I meant that in reverse.
My darling, we’ll simply say no.
Once you see, you can't stay blind.
Where are we to go? Where are we ever to go?
Loving you is why I do the things I do.
Isn't she beautiful? There she is— there she is, there she is, there she is. Mama is everywhere, he must have loved her so much . . .
I’d be in the Follies! I’d be in a cabaret!
Danced in my scanties, three bucks a night was the pay, but I'm here.
The harder to get, the better to have.
‘Tis your delight, sir, catching fire from one man to the next!
Bumbum bum bumbumbum bumbum bum . . .

I'm calm, I'm calm, I'm perfectly calm.
Indifferent to tensions and shocks.
Get yourself a gimmick and you, too can be a star!
And I thought it was the end of the world.
How we kissed and how we clung—remember, darling? We were foolish, we were young—more than we knew.
It's the other national anthem, saying, if you want to hear—it says "Bullshit!"
