Judy Garland - Palace Montage lyrics

I played the state,

The capital,

And people said

Don't stop,

Until you play the Palace,

you haven't played the top.

For years I had it preached to me,

And drummed into my head,

Until you play the Palace,

You might as well be dead.

A team of hoofers was the headline,

At the Majestic, down in Dallas.

But they canceled the day,

Their agent called to say,

You can open the bill at the palace.

So, it became the Hall of Fame,

The Mecca of the trade.

When you had played the Palace,

You knew that you were made.

So, I hope you understand my wondrous thrill,

Cuz Vaudevilles back as the Palace,

And I'm on the bill.

Shine on

Shine on

Harvest moon

Up in the sky

I aint had no lovin

Since January

Febuary

June or July

Some of these days

Your gonna miss me honey

Some of these days

Your gonna feel so lonely

You miss my hugging

You miss my kissing

You'll miss me honey

When I'm far away

Oh my man

I love him so

He'll never know

All my life is just despaire

But i dont care

When he takes me in his arms

The world is bright alright

I dont care

I dont care

If people frown

On me

I'm happy go lucky

They say that I'm plucky

Contented and carefree,

I dont care

I dont care

If he's a clerk or just a millionare,

If im not successful

It wont be degressful

Cuz I dont care.

And all around me

I hear voices that I can't ignore.

The voices of the stars

Who played the Palace long before.

The stars who entertained you,

Until the rafters rang.

You dont need there names

For the whole world acclaims them

For the wonderful songs they sang.

Theres Eddie Canter,

Georgie Jessle,

Louie Holts,

Johnson and olson.

Cowerson boys,

Howerdson boys

Aand that singing fool Al Jolson.

And so with deep humility,

I stand in front of you

I'm proud to play the palace,

It's like a dream come true,

Which is why I'd like to shout it up and down.

Just to tell Broadway

That the two a day is back in town.
