Ballyhoo Days

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 dancin', dancin'

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 dancin'
Dancin', dancin'
In a ballyhoo way
Just like my ballyhoo days
