The Sweetheart of Sordido V Lyrics by Vera Johnson

That’s What I Believe

0

You may think I am old and dreary
A faded Florence Nightingale
My face is lined, my breath is beery
Still you should listen to my tale
Now it's two thousand and seventy-four
No one will look twice at me
But all the spacemen were a-knocking at my door
Back in twenty thirty-three
I was big bright Barby, the bouncing baby
The sweetheart of Sordido Five
Big bright Barby, the bouncing baby
I knew how to make a man feel glad to be alive
They would come to see me feeling low and depressed
When they left their smiles would tell mе I was the best
Big bright Barby, the bouncing baby
Thе sweetheart of Sordido Five
I still remember dear Pruria
He was an old man, I his nurse
After they cured his diarrhoea
He gave me diamonds, he was the first
He told me I had a talent to sell
One worth a mint, so he said
I gave up nursing for the new job paid me well
And I stayed at home in bed
I was big bright Barby, the bouncing baby
The sweetheart of Sordido Five
Big bright Barby, the bouncing baby
I knew how to make a man feel glad to be alive
They would come to see me feeling low and depressed
When they left their smiles would tell me I was the best
Big bright Barby, the bouncing baby
The sweetheart of Sordido Five
I must say I was never thrifty
I made a fortune, spent it all
Soon I found I was fat and fifty
My wealthy lovers didn't call
Then a young minister visited me
He got me down on my knees
Though I now lead a life as saintly as can be
I still have my memories
I was big bright Barby, the bouncing baby
The sweetheart of Sordido Five
Big bright Barby, the bouncing baby
I knew how to make a man feel glad to be alive
They would come to see me feeling low and depressed
When they left their smiles would tell me I was the best
Big bright Barby, the bouncing baby
The sweetheart of Sordido Five
