I've wanted to do a
show like this all my life.
I don't know what took me so long.
I guess I just had a whole lot of other stuff
I had to get done first, you know.
I started in the chorus
of Pajama Game.
The leading lady took a fall,
they called my name.
On Carol Haney's broken leg
I rode to fame, remember me?
In Hollywood my parts were very small
An d then I played the type
of girl who was on call
Four Oscar nominations
and I lost them all,
Remember me?
I can see my brother
Warren Beatty on my knee.
At the age of three,
even then I could see he was prettier than me.
I climbed the Himalayas,
and I took a look,
and China was another of
the trips I took.
Seems every time I take a trip,
I write a book.
Remember me.
You don't know who the hell I am,
do you?
If I'd done Hollywood Squares,
would this be easier?
In Tokyo,
I learned this game called Rub -A -Dub
Where men and women
bathe together in a tub
And who's the dope
who dropped the soap
and closed the club?
Why do I remember you?
In Washington,
my name was on the enemy list
Be cause I was a Democrat,
they slapped my wrist.
The candidate we
needed was the exorcist.
Remember me?
When the Klan was domin
ating every scene,
And was there with Sammy,
Peter, Frank, and Dean.
I'd love to be a spirit free as Peter Pan,
to live and love and learn
and do the best I can.
And now I'm back upon the stage
where I began the place I want to
be remember me.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
