Little 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

Sit there, and count your fingers

What can you do

Old girl, you're through

You just sit there, and count your tiny fingers

Unhappy, little girl blue

You just sit there, and count the raindrops

Falling on you

It's time you knew

That 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 little girl blue

To cheer little girl blue
