Lyrics

"One more little drink?"
Asked a lady with a wink
As she hung on to her stool beside the bar
"Well, no matter what they think"
Her face began to sink
As she talked straight to the wall
"I'm still a star, oh, I'm still a star, ooh oh ho"
They said I was getting old
And that I didn't fit the mould
And that the glitter and the gold were yesteryear
Well, now existence bought their cars
Their women and their fat cigars
In days when stars were stars
It brings a tear, oh, it brings a tear, ooh oh ho
She brushed her faded mink
As she slinked her jaded slink
And prepared to meet the horde and flashing lights
But though nobody was there
The little lady didn't care
'Cause her imagination soared to dizzy heights
Oh, to dizzy heights, ooh oh ho
She came down with a bang
As a voice said, "This way, ma'am"
And the rising star that fell faded from sight
Her jingle closed with a clang
But she didn't give a damn
'Cause the stage was now a cell most every night
Oh, most every night, ooh oh ho
