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 I loved so 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, 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 up little girl blue.
 
 
 
 
 Sit there and count your fingers
 What can you do
 Old girl you're through
 Sit there, 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 ever count on
 Are the raindrops
 That fall on little girl blue
 
 Won't you just sit there
 Count the little raindrops
 Falling on you
 'Cause it's time you knew
 All you can ever count on
 Are the raindrops
 That fall on little girl blue
 
 No use old girl
 You might as well surrender
 'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender
 Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
 To cheer up little girl blue
