It all began just as simply as any other birth that happens
But because of circumstances this was no ordinary birth.
At first an unexpected pregnancy
That the mother at one point wanted
Terminated when such a thing was illegal.
But when that face was first seen the father
Fell in love with "Baby".
It would be almost two and half years
Before the gift this "Baby" posessed was heard.
That voice of song changed everything,
Vaudeville wasn't far behind, singing
At Papa's Theatre, traveling the road with Mama.
Finally discovered and signed to MGM
while still in your teens,
the movies came very fast one after another.
Each one showcasing "Baby's" voice
some small roles but one that left you immortal.
Sleeping pills, multiple marriages, breakdowns,
being released by MGM in your twenties,
and a string of financial problems could not keep "Baby" down.
Your fans adore you, they needed you
As much as you needed them.
So today on your 87th birthday I want to say
You made me love you and I always will
Happy Birthday Judy Garland
Judy 'Live' at The London Palladium April / May 1951
