Richard Rodgers
Little Girl Blue
Sit there
And count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there
And count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there
Count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on
Is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send
A tender blue boy
To cheer the little the girl blue?
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold
No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send
A tender blue boy
To cheer the little the girl blue?
Cheer little girl blue
Cheer little girl blue
Cheer little girl blue
