I'm Still Here Lyrics - The Essential Stephen Sondheim - Stephen Sondheim

Good times and bum times, I've seen them all 

And, my dear, I'm still here 

Plush velvet sometimes 

Sometimes just pretzels and beer, but I'm here 

 

I've stuffed the dailies in my shoes 

Strummed ukuleles, sung the blues 

Seen all my dreams disappear but I'm here. 

I've slept in shanties, guest of the W.P.A., but I'm here 

Danced in my scanties 

Three bucks a night was the pay, but I'm here 

 

I've stood on bread lines with the best 

Watched while the headlines did the rest 

In the depression was I depressed? 

Nowhere near, I met a big financier and I'm here

I've been through Gandhi, Windsor and Wally's affair, and I'm here 

Amos 'n' Andy, Mah-jongg and platinum hair, and I'm here 

I got through Abie's, Irish Rose, Five Dionne babies, Major Bowes 

Had heebie-jeebies for Beebe's, Bathysphere 

I got through Shirley Temple, and I'm here 

 

I've gotten through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover 

Gee, that was fun and a half 

When you've been through Herbert and J. Edgar Hoover 

Anything else is a laugh 

 

I've been through Reno, I've been through Beverly Hills, and I'm here. 

Reefers and vino, rest cures, religion and pills, and I'm here 

Been called a 'Pinko', commie tool, got through it stinko by my pool 

I should've gone to an acting school, that seems clear 

Still someone said, "She's sincere", so I'm here

Black sable one day, next day it goes into hock, but I'm here 

Top billing Monday, Tuesday, you're touring in stock, but I'm here 

First you're another sloe-eyed vamp 

Then someone's mother, then you're camp 

Then you career from career to career 

I'm almost through my memoirs, and I'm here 

 

I've gotten through, "Hey, lady, aren't you whoozis? 

Wow, what a looker you were" 

Or better yet, "Sorry, I thought you were whoozis 

Whatever happened to her?" 

 

Good times and bum times, I've seen 'em all 

And, my dear, I'm still here 

Flush velvet sometimes 

Sometimes just pretzels and beer, but I'm here 

 

I've run the gamut, A to Z 

Three cheers and dammit, C'est la vie 

I got through all of last year, and I'm here 

Lord knows, at least I was there, and I'm here 

Look who's here, I'm still here
