Most Of The Songs I Sing Have

I Really Turned Into, You Know, The Real Street Kid. I Was Kind Of Like A Runaway, But I Had A Mother, You Know What I Mean, And I Had A Place To Stay.

Even As A Little Child, I've Always Had That Comedian Kind Of Attitude.

I'm Not A Braggart, But When I Was A Little Girl People Used To Come From All Over Hollywood To Hear Me Sing.

They Said That Etta James Is Still Vulgar. I Said, Oh, How Dare Them Say I'm Still Vulgar. I'm Vulgar Because I Dance In The Chair. What Would They Want Me To Do? Want Me To Just Be Still Or Something Like That? I've Got To Do Something.

See, I Don't Like Places Where People Can't Dance - Don't Like Clubs Or Theatres Where A Bunch Of Bourgeois People Sit Around Tip, Tip, Tipping Their Fingers.
