JUDY GARLAND: 'NOBODY', 1940. A SONG TO REMEMBER.

In the vast expanse of Judy Garlands career ... 45 years of musical & entertainment history, an astounding body of work ... there are some things that seem to get 'lost' or 'unnoticed'.
Judy is preeminently remembered for her role as Dorothy in the 'Wizard Of Oz' ... &, there are certain songs that will always be associated with her ... 'Over The Rainbow', 'The Trolley Song', 'The Man That Got Away' ... just to name a few.
But there's far more to Judy Garland ...
The song 'Nobody', performed by Judy in 'Strike Up The Band' ... nobody seems to remember, or pay attention to. Here is a song that seems to have been forgotten.
Lets remember ...
Words and music by Roger Edens.
Lyrics not found, transcribed from audio.

All the big professors state
That everything should have a mate
Birds and Bees and Flowers and Trees
All have romantic tendencies
So far I have missed the he
That fate decreed was meant for me
I'm just living in a lull
And I'll confess it's mighty dull
Romeo had Juliet and Louis XVI had Antionette
But I ain't got nobody and nobody's got me
Pelleas had Melisande and Isabella had Ferdinand
But I ain't got nobody and nobody's got me
Welch Grape Juice has Irene Rich
Minneapolis has St Paul
Abercrombie has his Fitch
But here I am crying and sitting and sighing
With no one at all
Hans had Gretel by his side and Dr Jekyl had Mr Hyde
But I ain't got nobody and nobody's got me
Lancelot had fair Elaine and Mr Lunt has Ms Lynn Fontaine
But I ain't got nobody and nobody's got me
Frederic Chopin had George Sand and Alexander had his Ragtime Band
But I ain't got nobody and nobody's got me
Barbasol has Singin' Sam
Metro-Goldwyn has Mayer
Mary has her little lamb
But here I am hoping and mumbling and moping
With no one to care
Gobs have sweethearts on the wharves
And even Snow White had seven dwarves
But I ain't got nobody and nobody's got me
Nobody - nobody's got me

I've been a Garland fan for most of my life, this is one of her most touching songs, 2nd place in my book

[allanfisch]

This is one of my favorite numbers she sang in her early/post Oz MGM period. Roger wrote terrifically personalized numbers for her(and others) because he knew the woman. And how beautiful is this girl, who didn't think she was beautiful. I know a lot of people who, to me, are stunningly gorgeous(HELLOz?!) but got some really f-d up early messaging....Ttat face, with that voice, to me, at thjs moment in time for her, is absolutely perfect and so right.
