Eddy Arnold - Bally-Hoo Days lyrics

rate me

BALLY-HOO DAYS

Writers Larry Henley, Steve Pippin, Rafe VanHoy, Johnny Slate, Larry Keith

Sitting at the stage door of the Palace

Looking down the alley two ways

One way takes my mind back home to Alice

The other to my ballyhoo days

There was a time my name had swept the nation

But now my job is sweeping cafes

I wonder how much living I have wasted

Clinging to my ballyhoo days

Ballyhoo days

Ballyhoo days

God almighty when I go

Please let me go dancing ...

Dancing

I've seen life from both sides of the curtain

And the only life for me is the stage

But nowadays my work is more uncertain

And filled with dreams of ballyhoo days

Ballyhoo days

Ballyhoo days

God almighty when I go

Please let me go dancing ...

Dancing ...

Dancing ...

In a ballyhoo way

Like my ballyhoo days
