When I was very young The world was younger than I As merry as a carousel The circus tent was strung With every star in the sky Above the ring I loved so well Now the young world has grown old Gone are the tinsel and gold
Sit there and count your fingers What can you do? Old girl, you're through Sit there and count your little fingers Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops Falling on you It's time you knew All you can count on are the raindrops That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl You might as well surrender Your hopes are getting slender Why won't somebody Send a tender, blue boy To cheer little girl blue
