| Well she wanted to go on the stage |
| No one could stop her she felt like she was in a cage |
| Her mind was made up, her heart was set on it |
| but she would’nt listen |
| So her father worked every night |
| her mother was crying when the train pulled out of sight |
| when the letter arived thay could hardly wait cause it read… |
| (DAUGHTER) |
| Mother & Father I’ve met a young man |
| who thinks he can help me with all of my plans |
| he going to give me a start it’s a very small part as a plainum blonde |
| So they waited & waited for weeks |
| when no word arived the tears ran down her cheek |
| And when it finaly came they felt somehow to blame cause it read… |
| (DAUGHTER) |
| Mother & Father I’m doing allright |
| i’m going away for a while so don’t write it’s not for the money you know it’s |
| a respectable show called the platinum blonde |
| Can you read between the lines |
| Can you read between the lines |
| Can you read between the lines |
| Can you read between the lines |
| So he packed his bag and got on a train |
| told his wife he was of to see his brother in Main |
| When he got into town he looked for the show call the platinum blonde |
| Through the red lights & smoke on the stage |
| he watched daughter preforme & in Shame & |
| Rage he turned his head away he could almost hear say… |
| (DAUGHTER) |
| Father Oh Father you’ve got it all wrong |

| it might not be Shakespear but i’m happyier hear as a platinum blonde |
| Can you read between the lines |
| Can you read between the lines |
| Can you read between the lines |
| Can you read between the lines |
| So he waited behind the stage door |
| when his daughter came out the first thing she saw |
| Was the gun in his, a flash of light, |
| and then nothing more |
| His called up on the phone |
| she sounded so happy & he felt all alone |
| what that you say we got a letter today |
| and it read… |
| (DAUGHTER) |

| my very last night as a platinum blond |
| Can you read between the lines |
