SHOW BIZ ‘BOUT TO GT ME DOWN. . .
SO MANY GIGS AROUND THIS TOWN. . .
ALL THESE TUNES TO RESURRECT,
INTRICATE STEPS TO GET CORRECT.
THIS POOR OL’ BRAIN IS IN A WHIRL —
HOW COULD, I’VE THOUGHT, I’M STILL A GIRL?
THE CALENDAR SAYS I’M OVER THE HILL. . .
ONE THING FOR SURE — I’M OFF THE PILL!
WHY AM I HOOFING IT WEEK AFTER WEEK,
TAPPING THE ENERGY SOURCE THAT I SEEK. . .
HOW DO I JUSTIFY ALL OF THIS WORK
FOR LESS THAN THE PAY OF A COMPANY CLERK?
MAYBE IT’S SOMETHING DOWN DEEP IN MY SOUL. . .
SOMETHING THAT TELLS ME I’VE GOTTA BE WHOLE,
PUSHING MY SPIRIT UP OUT OF THIS RUT—
OPENING DOORS THAT USED TO BE SHUT—
TAKING THE HANDS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME,
LEARNING THE WAYS OF TERP-SICK-OH-REE. . .
AIN’T IT A WONDERFUL THING TO BEHOLD—
HOW A DANCER CAN ANSWER:
“I DECLINE TO BE OLD!”
— Bob Hammond 1993 to his wife, Jane
