[FREDERICA]
Good times and bum times
I've seen them all and, my dear
I'm still here
Plush velvet sometimes
Sometimes just pretzels and beer
But I'm here

I've stuffed the dailies in my shoes
Strummed ukuleles, sung the blues
Seen all my dreams disappear
But I'm here

I've slept in shanties
Guest of the W.P.A
But I'm here
Danced in my scanties
Three bucks a night was the pay
But I'm here

I've stood on bread lines with the best
Watched while the headlines did the rest
In the depression, was I depressed?
Nowhere near
I met a big financier and I'm here
I've gotten through, "Hey, lady, aren't you whoozis?
Wow, what a looker you were"
Or better yet, "Sorry, I thought you were whoozis
Whatever happened to her?"

Oh good times and bum times
I've seen 'em all and, my dear
I'm still here
Plush velvet sometimes
Sometimes just pretzels and beer
But I'm here

I've run the gamut, A to Z
Three cheers and 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
