When I was an amateur
In Tennessee
All my friends they just went crazy
Over me
When they saw me act
They always used to say
Mabe' you outta' be down on Broadway
Frowmin heard about me
But I turned him down
God did David Buford
Then I called the town
Hammer(??) seen next to me
Then stubborn me one night
Now I am a Broadway star alright
I'm the only star that twinkle
On broadway
All the other stars
Are only shines they say
I'm a public center access
I'm a lady and an actress
Why I'm making Pesky Carter's
Hair turn gray
I remember when Velasco saw me play
He threw up his hands
And fainted dead away
Richard Mansfield put out his reasons
Cause' I sign with him
Next season
I'm the only star that twinkle
On broadway
Once when playing Juliet
I hoped to die
All the audience began to
Weep and sigh
Someone shouted
This is more than I can stand
Then another yelled
Strike up the van.
Burn hop counted extra pop(??)
The way I do
That's what everybody says that sees me too
Alan Dale remarks
That if I got what I deserved
I'd be canned(??)
These other words preserved.
I'm the only star that twinkle
On broadway
All the other stars
Are only shines they say
I'm a public center access
I'm a lady and an actress
Why I'm making Pesky Carter's
Hair turn gray
I remember when Velasco saw me play
He threw up his hands
And fainted dead away
Richard Mansfield put out his reasons
Cause' I sign with him
Next season
I'm the only star that twinkle
On broadway
