Ladies of the Chorus Page #6

who will accompany the next number.

Boys, I'll start it,

and you kind of sneak in.

# A gal I knew

loved wedding chimes #

# So she got married many times #

# At 60, she ran out of men #

# So she married the first one

Over again #

# You're never too old

To do what you did #

# You're never too old

To feel like a kid #

# Your back may be bent

Your hair may be gray #

# But you're never too old

Till you're put away #

# Away, away #

# Where everything is exquisite #

# Away, away

Where relatives seldom visit #

# A girl I knew was young and sweet #

# And all she liked to do was eat #

# Today she does

a circus act #

# She's so round and so firm

And so fully packed #

# You're never too old

To do what you did #

# You're never too old

To feel like a kid #

# Your knees may be weak

You may have the gout #

# But you're never too old

Till they strike you out #

# Way out, way out #

# Where no one is sour or solemn #

# Way out, way out #

# Where they have

No society column #

# At 25, Marie Lamarr

Became a famous burlesque star #

# At 50, she could wave a hip #

# That would make a whole crew

Abandon a ship #

# You're never too old

To do what you did #

# You're never too old

To feel like a kid #

# You may need a cane

And wear a toupee #

# But you're never too old

Till you're put away #

# Away, away #

# Where everything is okay ##

Thank you. Thank you so much.

It's really more than I deserve

after all these years.

I suppose you're saying to yourselves,

"Well, not bad for an amateur. "

But I have a confession to make.

I'm not really

an amateur at all.

I was also a lady of the chorus.

Can you imagine?

Adele Carroll a chorus girl.

Yes, isn't it exciting?

I hope I haven't shocked you,

my friends.

Oh, no, Adele, it's wonderful.

Well, shall we have

some more dancing?

Mother, you were wonderful. I

didn't know you were on the stage.

What shows were you in?

She wasn't.

She was never

on the stage in her life.

What?

No.

That was just her idea to make

Peggy and Randy happy.

But you shocked your friends.

They can take a little shock

now and then. Do them good.

By the way, a double wedding of mother

and daughter really would shock them.

You know, "You're never too old

to do what you did. "
