My little girl
Ella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In Ella's song "My Little Girl", the lyrics speak to someone who is feeling down and out - someone who is feeling hopeless and helpless. The opening line "sit there and count your fingers, what can you do?" immediately sets the tone for the song. It's as if the person being sung to is at a loss and has nothing to turn to, and the counting of their fingers represents that. Later, when Ella sings "unhappy little girl blue," it's clear that she is singing to someone who is very sad.
The second verse talks about counting raindrops falling on the person, and how that's all they can ever count on. This is a metaphor for the scarce and fleeting nature of happiness in the person's life. They can only count on the raindrops falling, which represent their sadness, but they don't see any hope for happiness to ever come their way. The repetition of "little girl blue" is used to emphasize this feeling of hopelessness and sadness.
Ella even goes so far as to suggest that the person surrender because their "hopes are getting slender and slender." However, she ends the song on a somewhat hopeful note by asking someone to "send a tender blue boy to cheer up little girl blue." This implies a promise of a brighter future for the person who is feeling so down.
Overall, "My Little Girl" is a commentary on the feelings of hopelessness that can plague individuals in tough situations, but it still manages to offer a hint of hope for the future.

No use old girl
There is no point, my dear

Why can't someone send a kind-hearted boy to you?
To cheer up little girl blue
To bring some happiness into your sad, blue life
