Judy Garland

Hollywood Angel, Somewhere over the rainbow And on down that yellow brick road through The years and stage to stage well That's Entertainment Still going strong, although she's been gone for So long her spirit still lives on... Like a journey to a star, maybe once, maybe twice MGM favorites would come to see her show from L.A. to New York City standing in the shadow of Her name in bright neon lights... Then the curtains would rise and the applause was Louder than thunder, she’d just stand there with her Arms crossed under the spotlight 'til the moment Was right but as soon as she'd start singing Call the Press, call the news the crowd would go wild again But she had such a powerful voice she could sing over The, singing Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart, Come Rain or shine, Judy’s Ollies, Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow, Just in time and of course Somewhere Over The Rainbow But that was never the end of the show, she’d ask the Audience what they'd like to hear now, she would never Leave them for less than what they came for, from Las Vegas to Singapore... From The Wizard of Oz to A Star Is Born, the world Remembers and still mourns, Francis Gum otherwise Known as JUDY GARLAND, a timeless legend like a Journey to a Star, way up high where the blue birds Fly!
