Who Taught Her Everything?

Who Taught Her Everything? - Kay Medford/Danny Meehan

Written by：Jule Styne/Bob Merrill

Eddie the ziegfeld follies

Now she belongs to the ages

My work is done

My work is done

Our work is done

She doesn't need us

She'll have cake

We'll have crumbs

Be careful of the stage door

Here she comes here she comes

Hello fanny hello

Hello fanny it's me mama

What do you mean mama who

It's good to see her from afar

I lost a daughter but I gained a star

That's broadway

And who taught her everything she knows

I taught her everything she knows

She sings like a bird

Yes indeed

But who used to stand there

And feed her the seed

Who taught her how to pick her clothes

Eddie that I did

Yeah but who taught her how to tap her toes

But will she admit it

Kid you said it

They all forget they know ya

When it comes to credit

Tell me have you ever seen her take this pose

I taught her everything

How to hoof and how to sing

I taught her everything she knows

Wait Eddie she'll blame us yet

Who taught her everything she knows

Let me hear it Rosie

I taught her everything she knows

Ain't it the truth

That mischievous smile

The devil may care

You don't pull such mannerisms out of the air

The men who are older might prefer

The original manufacturer

It hurts me to say it

But why not be fair

When you see around the stage

You're seeing me there

She still has trouble executing one of those

If they could have paid the price

They'd have hired Rosie Brice

Who stands after every show

Selling matches in the snow

But in the world of grease paint

That's the way it goes

We taught her everything

How to hoof and how to sing

We taught her how to wack

A joke from here to hackensack ya ha ha ha

We taught her everything

We taught her everything she knows
