Well you’re so great and I love you so You know I’m your biggest fan I saw your picture and it’s the best The finest in the land Camera lights and action And words you know so well You're in and out of fashion In a Hollywood of hell When the curtain falls Walk the hollow halls babe Once a valley doll Now you're not at all No Well I love you in that movie show Can I have your autograph? It’s so funny you have such charm And whole thing made me laugh Obetral and cocktails You're counting all your rings They all said they loved you (Didn’t they darlin’) Well they've taken all your things When the curtain falls Walk the hollow halls babe Once a valley doll Now you're not at all No Well listen darlin' It's been real swell What can I say You've got it all You're a one woman show But I'm not gonna lie You could use a little work Well at your age What've you got baby When the curtain falls Walk the hollow halls babe Once a valley doll Now you’re not at all Goodbye baby, goodbye
