Lyrics
When you were very young, the world was younger than you As merry as a carousel The circus tent was strung with ever star in the sky Above the ring you loved show well Now the young world has grown old Gone are the silver and gold

Sit there, and count your fingers What can you do? Old girl you're through Just sit there and count your little fingers Unhappy 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, oh girl, you might as well surrender You're hopes are getting slender Why won't somebody send a tender Blue boy to cheer up little girl blue.
