[00:00.12]Spoken Intro
[00:02.85]Thank you thank you very much
[00:04.69]I can't express it any other way
[00:07.93]For with this awful trembling in my heart
[01:10.78]I just can't find another thing to say
[01:15.24]I'm happy that you liked the show
[01:18.70]I'm grateful you liked me
[01:21.63]And I'm sure to you the tributes seemed quite right
[01:25.22]Song
[01:27.25]But if you knew of all the years
[01:32.33]Of hopes and dreams and tears
[01:37.31]You'd know it didn't happen overnight
[01:48.31]Huh overnight
[01:54.88]I was born in a trunk
[01:59.55]In the Princess Theater in Pocatello Idaho
[02:10.85]It was during a matinee on Friday
[02:18.60]And they used a makeup towel for my didee
[02:26.12]When I first saw the light
[02:29.19]It was pink and amber
[02:34.44]Coming from the footlights on the stage
[02:42.05]When my dad carried me out there to say hello
[02:50.06]They tell me that I stopped the show
[02:56.87]So I grew up in a crazy world of dressing rooms
[03:02.67]And hotel rooms and waiting rooms
[03:06.50]And rows behind-the-scenes
[03:08.60]And I can't forget the endless rows
[03:15.24]Of sleepless nights and heatless nights
[03:18.97]And nights without a nickel in my jeans
[03:27.94]But it's all in the game and way you play it
[03:35.86]And you've gotta play the game you know
[03:43.94]When you're born in a trunk at the Princess Theater
[03:52.37]In Pocatello Idaho
[04:06.65]At first I just stood and watched from the wings
[04:09.89]That's all my mom and dad would allow
[04:17.27]But as I got older I got a little bolder
[04:20.92]And snuck out for their second bow
[04:30.09]They kept me in the act because they needed me
[04:32.78]To milk applause
[04:34.20]Until one night they did a crazy thing
[04:41.20]They left me out there all alone
[04:43.48]Mama said you're on your own
[04:45.68]And Papa shouted this is it kid Sing'
[04:58.56]I'll get by
[05:03.41]As long as I have you
[05:12.87]Though there be rain and darkness too
[05:21.67]I'll not complain I'll see it through
[05:34.02]I learned very quickly the tricks of the trade
[05:38.50]I practiced after everyone was gone
[05:45.10]And with the tricks I learned traditions
[05:48.26]And the hardest one of all is no matter what
[05:53.62]The show must go on
[06:00.19]As time went by I looked for jobs
[06:05.62]And was kicked from pillar to post
[06:10.44]I haunted all the agents' offices
[06:15.67]And I almost ended up a ghost
[06:30.20]I'm a sentimental sap that's all
[06:32.77]What's the use of tryin' not to fall
[06:34.92]I have no will you made your kill
[06:37.15]'Cause you took advantage of me
[06:39.29]AGENT
[06:42.73]No
[06:50.38]ESTHER
[06:51.30]I'm just like an apple on the bough
[06:53.75]And you're gonna shake me down somehow
[06:55.74]So what's the use you cooked my goose
[06:58.21]'Cause you took advantage of me
[07:00.22]AGENT
[07:08.45]No
[07:09.13]ESTHER
[07:09.70]I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
[07:12.65]My elbow from my ear
[07:15.03]Suffer something awful each time you go
[07:17.35]But it's much worse when you're near
[07:20.17]Here am I with all my bridges burned
[07:22.85]Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
[07:25.51]So lock the doors call me yours
[07:28.42]'Cause you took advantage of me
[07:32.83]AGENT
[07:33.81]Yes
[07:34.26]ESTHER
[07:35.41]No
[07:44.49]So I got into a tab show
[07:49.23]All I did was kick my feet
[07:53.49]You'd hardly call it a chance to sing
[07:57.82]But at least it was a chance to eat
[08:06.61]They call it black bottom
[08:08.86]A new swisher
[08:09.75]A sure galloon
[08:10.49]An old sister
[08:11.98]They clap their hands and do a raggedy trot
[08:16.07]Hot
[08:18.89]And young fellows with flamenco
[08:21.12]And young fellows the way they go
[08:22.90]They jump right in and give it all that they've got
[08:28.36]Then one night something happened
[08:30.56]Dame fortune showed her face
[08:33.02]The star got sick and I was told to go on in her place
[08:46.58]But she recovered
[08:51.85]Oh well
[08:53.28]Song
[08:53.85]Black bottom a new rhythm
[08:55.52]When you spot 'em you go with 'em
[08:57.56]And do that black black black black bottom
[09:00.12]You won't be blue when you have got 'em
[09:02.36]If you do that black black black black bottom all day
[09:09.85]But finally I got an offer to sing in New York
[09:13.45]And I wired them I'm on my way
[09:17.10]I had visions that this would be
[09:19.90]A fabulous famous cafe
[09:22.05]Filled with high society
[09:27.32]Elegant and spruce
[09:30.22]And I pictured me the epitome
[09:34.24]Of a very chic chanteuse
[09:39.96]Peanuts
[09:45.78]Through every city town and country lane
[09:48.29]You hear him sing his
[09:49.36]Plaintive little strain
[09:50.86]And as he goes by to you he'll say
[09:53.32]Male voice speaking
[09:54.11]Sing Melancholy Baby
[09:56.19]ESTHER
[09:57.92]Peanuts
[10:03.64]The little children like to trail along
[10:06.10]They like to hear the peanut vendor's song
[10:08.57]They all laugh with glee when he will say
[10:10.99]Male and Esther's voice speaking
[10:11.83]Sing Melancholy Baby
[10:14.60]ESTHER
[10:15.30]Come to me my melancholy baby
[10:28.43]Cuddle up and don't be blue
[10:38.10]All your fears are foolish fancies maybe
[10:51.95]You know dear that I'm in love with you
[11:05.18]Every cloud must have a silver lining
[11:19.26]Wait until the sun shines through
[11:30.12]Smile my honey dear
[11:36.10]While I kiss away each tear
[11:46.08]Or else I shall be melancholy too
[12:06.80]My benefactor appeared with his card
[12:09.60]And at first I thought he was fresh
[12:11.93]Huh fresh
[12:13.20]Song
[12:13.58]He was fresh from heaven all right
[12:17.99]He produced the show that gave me the chance
[12:22.16]To sing for you tonight
[12:27.69]Swanee how I love you how I love you
[12:32.47]My dear old Swanee
[12:35.32]I'd give the world to be among the folks in
[12:42.87]D-I-X-I-E-ven now my mammy's waitin' for me
[12:46.55]Prayin' for me down by the Swanee
[12:50.20]The folks up north will see me no more
[12:54.39]When I get to that Swanee shore
[12:58.19]Swanee Swanee I'm coming back to Swanee
[13:07.86]Mammy Mammy I love the old folks at home
[13:12.14]I loves ya Swanee
[13:18.02]How I love you how I love you
[13:20.57]My dear old Swanee
[13:23.66]I'd give the world if I could only be
[13:29.53]Sittin' on my mammy's knee
[13:31.85]I love the old folks I love the young folks
[13:39.74]Oh my bunny let me love ya more than Alabamy
[13:46.92]Mammy Mammy my dear old mammy
[13:47.71]Your wanderin' child will wander no more
[13:52.34]When I get to that Swanee shore
[14:17.27]So I can't quite be called overnight sensation
[14:25.48]For it started many years ago
[14:32.92]When I was born in a trunk at the Princess Theater
[14:42.59]In Pocatello Idaho
