Oh, you got the money;
A star is on the rise,
Just show those eyes,
China blue with a world view
Peering past the lies.

Did you get the part?
Oh, you got the part;
An actress is born,
So far from Kansas corn,
Sign that autograph, they love your laugh
And know you play the French horn.

Did you stay on top?
Oh, you stayed on top,
‘Till the years came and went
And parts to play were not sent;
But you had it all, everyone takes a fall
From the stage we only rent.

Did you get the money?
Oh, you got the money;
A star is on the rise,
Just show those eyes,
China blue with a world view
Peering past the lies.

Did you get the part?
Oh, you got the part;
An actress is born,
So far from Kansas corn,
Sign that autograph, they love your laugh
And know you play the French horn.

Did you stay on top?
Oh, you stayed on top,
‘Till the years came and went
And parts to play were not sent;
But you had it all, everyone takes a fall
From the stage we only rent.
