Little Girl Blue
Doris Day Lyrics

The party really swung that night
The party was very lively and energetic that evening.

But I didn't know a soul
However, I didn't have any acquaintances/friends present there.

And them someone said let's have fun
Then suddenly, someone suggested enjoying and having fun.

Bring out that limbo pole
By taking out the limbo pole - a game ingredient - they aim to have fun.

They pushed right by me onto the floor
The people pushed me aside and walked towards the dancing area.

And I felt so left out
As a result, I began to feel excluded.

Till I felt someone take my hand
Until someone grabbed my hand.

And heard that someone shout
And I heard someone shouting.

Let the little girl limbo
Encouraging me to play the game of limbo.

Let the little girl limbo
Continuing to encourage me to play the game of limbo.

Let the little girl limbo
Continuing to encourage me to play the game of limbo.

Oh, you know she can go so low
Recognizing that I'm adept at playing limbo.

And as they all let me through
As they all cleared the path for me.

He said you know what to do
He said that I know how to do it - play limbo.

Little girl you can limbo
Calling me little girl, he appreciates my skill at playing the game.

I believe in you
Expressing confidence in my abilities.

First I limbo'd high
Starting with raising the bar high initially, while playing limbo.

(Too high, you gotta go lower)
(Suggesting that the bar was set too high and asking me to lower it down more.

Then I began to try
Then I started to make an attempt.

(Nice try, but you gotta go lower)
(Even though I tried, it wasn't quite enough and I needed to lower the bar further.)

Then I went so low
Finally, I was able to lower the bar very close to the ground.

(So low, no one ever went lower)
(Lowering it further than anyone else had ever gone.)

(Oh, that girl can go)
(Impressed by my skill in playing the game.)

Watch me now
I'm about to play limbo again and want everyone to watch me perform.

I go to lots of parties now
Now, I attend a lot of parties.

And I always feel so proud
I'm always proud of myself.

'Cause he's with me and I can see
Because he is with me and now I can see clearly.

Now I'm in with the crowd
Now, I feel like I’m part of the crowd.

And when that limbo music begins
And when the limbo music starts playing.

We both smile with delight
Both of us are extremely happy and delighted.

'Cause ev'rybody begins to shout
Because, when the game starts, everybody starts cheering and rooting for us.

The way he did that night
The way he cheered for me that night.

Nice try, but we know you go lower
Even though I tried well, I have set the bar too high and need to lower it to play the game efficiently.

(So low, no one ever gone lower)
Setting the bar so low that nobody had ever gone lower than it.
