| When you were very young
|
| The world was younger than you
|
| As merry as a carousel
|
| The circus tent was strung
|
| With every star in the sky
|
| Above the ring you loved so well
|
| Now the young world has grown old
|
| Gone are the silver and gold
|
| Sit there and count your fingers what can you do Old girl, you’re through
|
| Just sit there and count your little fingers
|
| Unhappy little girl blue
|
| Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you
|
| It’s time you knew
|
| All you can count on are the raindrops
|
| That fall on little girl blue
|
| No use, old girl, you might as well surrender
|
| Your hopes are getting slender
|
| Why won’t somebody send a tender
|
| Blue boy to cheer up little girl blue |
