Intro: A D A D A E A
With her Adrop-dead looks and her lDittle-girl charm
AEverybody thought she'd go Efar
And at A20 years old she was rDich as could be
And a wAorld-famed HoEllywood stAar.
With the big parts coming and the sDweethearts, too,
ALife was a hell of a rEide
But her sAtar soon fell and her bDody got old
So she tAook a lot of piElls and diAed.
She tAook a lot of Dpills and Adied
She Atook a lot of Dpills and Adied
her sAtar soon fell and her bDody got old
So she tAook a lot of piElls and diAed.
While the traffic crawled by in the street outside
She was sitting in her kitchenette
Listening to the scuttle of the rats in the wall
And staring at her TV set.
She once might have been too proud to be found
in a hovel on the lower East Side
But nothing in the world seemed to matter much now
So she took a lot of pills and died.
Now she hasn't been seen on the silver screen
And she never may be again
But every once in a while at the far end of the dial
You can see her how she was back then.
In a soft close-up, with her hair backlit,
She seemed to glow inside
Yeah, but something went wrong, 'cause forty years on
She took a lot of pills and died.
