I'm Still Here

Shirley MacLaine Shirley MacLaine

Good times & bum times.
I've seen 'em all &, my dear,
I`m still here.
Plush velvet sometimes,
Sometimes just pretzels and beer,
But i`m here.

10 years of braces, voice & tap
Touring in places off the map
Giving auditions on zanick's lap.
Never fear.
My mother drew up the contract,
So i'm here.

I've done commercials & club dates & talk shows.
Gee, that was fun and a half.
When you've done commercials & club dates & talk shows
Anything else is a laugh!

Black sable one day,
Next day it goes into hock,
But i`m here.
Top billing monday,
Tuesday you`re touring in stock,
But i`m here.

First you`re another true blue tramp,
Then someone`s mother,
Then you`re camp.
Then you career from career to career.
I`m feeling transcendental
Am i here?

I`ve gotten through
"hey, lady, aren`t you whoo-zis?
Gee! what a looker you were,"
Or, better yet,
"sorry, i thought you were whoo-zis.
What ever happened to her?"

Good times and bum times,
I`ve seen `em all
And, my dear,
I`m still here.

Smooth sailin' sometimes,
Sometimes a kick in the rear!
But i`m here.
I`ve run the gamut a to z.
Three cheers & dammit,
C`est la vie!
I got through all of last year
And i`m here.

Lord knows
At least i was there
And i`m here

Look who`s here!
I`m still here!
