[00:06.81]Anyway it's our first day acting class
[00:08.54]And we're in the auditorium and the teacher
[00:10.13]Mr karp

[00:14.51]Stage with our legs around eatch other
[00:16.24]One in back of the other and he says

[00:20.89]Now you're on a bobsled and
[00:22.57]It's snowing out and it's cold okay go
[00:32.84]Ev'ryday for a week we would try to feel the motion
[00:37.60]Feel the motion
[00:40.14]Down the hill
[00:42.58]Ev'ry day for a week we
[00:44.21]Would try to hear the wind rush
[00:47.45]Hear the wind rush
[00:49.96]Feel the chill
[00:51.88]And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[00:54.57]To see what I had inside
[00:57.17]Yes I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[01:00.13]And I tried I tried
[01:04.38]And everybody's going woosh woosh
[01:07.30]I feel the snow
[01:08.72]I feel the cold I feel the air
[01:11.15]And karp turns to me and he says
[01:12.60]Okay morales what did you feel
[01:16.73]And I said nothing
[01:19.10]I'm feeling nothing
[01:21.43]And he says 'nothing' could get a girl transferred
[01:26.18]They all felt something
[01:28.86]But I felt nothing
[01:31.23]Except the feeling that this bulls**t was absurd
[01:35.60]But I said to myself
[01:36.42]Hey it's only the first week
[01:38.38]Maybe it's genetic
[01:39.42]They don't have bobsleds in san juan
[01:42.49]Second week more advanced and we had to be a table
[01:47.28]Be a sportscar
[01:49.94]Ice-cream cone
[01:52.41]Mister karp he would say very good except morales
[01:57.15]Try morales
[01:59.82]All alone
[02:01.63]So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[02:04.32]To see how an ice cream felt
[02:06.94]Yes I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[02:09.88]And I tried to melt
[02:14.15]The kids yelled nothing
[02:16.55]They called me nothing
[02:18.81]And Karp allowed it which really makes me burn
[02:23.66]They were so helpful
[02:26.17]They called me hopeless
[02:28.75]Until I really didn't know where else to turn
[02:32.98]And karp kept saying
[02:34.31]Morales I think you should transfer to girl's high
[02:36.86]You'll never be an actress never Jesus Christ
[02:42.07]Went to Church praying Santa Maria
[02:44.72]Send me guidance
[02:47.13]Send me guidance
[02:49.72]On my knees
[02:52.02]Went to Church praying Santa Maria
[02:54.75]Help me feel it
[02:57.22]Help me feel it
[02:59.67]Pretty please
[03:01.77]And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
[03:04.16]Came up to the top of my head
[03:06.64]And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
[03:09.46]Here is what it said
[03:13.53]This man is nothing
[03:16.03]This course is nothing
[03:18.53]If you want something go find another class
[03:23.43]And when you find one
[03:25.81]You'll be an actress
[03:28.26]And I assure you that's what finally came to pass
[03:34.34]Six months later I heard that Karp had died
[03:40.39]And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
[03:46.39]And cried
[03:53.78]'Cause I felt nothing
[04:07.59]I mean I need wan't
[04:08.15]And the die are anything but
[04:09.73]The Summer I turned fifteen
[04:11.22]I lied about my age so I could join agva
[04:14.27]You know
[04:15.16]The night club union
[04:17.22]'Cause I could make sixty dollars a week
[04:19.08]Working these strip joints outside of kansas city
[04:22.76]I worked this one club for about eight weeks straight
[04:25.90]And I really became friendly with this stripper
[04:29.25]Her name was lola latores and her dynamic
[04:34.93]Twin forty-fours
[04:37.62]Well she really took to me I mean
[04:39.98]We did share the only dressing room
[04:41.42]And she did a lot of dressing
[04:42.95]Anyway she used to come and pick me up
[04:45.54]And drive me to work nights
[04:47.47]Well the neighbors would all
[04:49.56]Be hanging outside of their windows
[04:51.80]And she'd drive up in her big pink cadillac convertible
[04:58.18]And smile
[05:02.32]And I'd come tripping out of my house in my
[05:04.21]Little tuxedo wan't my tap shoes
[05:05.69]In my hand and we'd just
[05:07.11]Take off down the block with her long
[05:09.20]Flaming red hair just blowing in the wind
[05:11.60]Why do I pay for all those lessons
[05:14.45]Dance for gran'ma dance for gran'ma
[05:17.45]Oh my God that steve mcqueen's real sexy
[05:20.57]Bob goulet out
[05:21.93]Steve mcqueen in
[05:23.54]You cannot go to the movies
[05:26.63]Until you finish your homework
[05:29.45]Wash the car
[05:31.16]Stop pickin' your nose
[05:32.98]Oh darling you're not old enough to wear a bra
[05:37.89]You've got nothing to hold it up
[05:40.53]Locked in the bathroom with peyton place
[05:46.68]Tits when am I gonna grow tits
[05:52.24]If troy donahue could be a movie star
[05:57.20]Then I could be a movie star
[06:01.58]Well when the guys on the block saw lola
[06:03.94]They all wanted to know what the story was
[06:06.12]So I told them about
[06:07.15]This big hot had we romance we were having
[06:10.32]But actually she was going with this
[06:12.87]Little brat
[06:13.99]That's what my sister was
[06:15.63]A little brat
[06:16.98]And that's why I shaved her head
[06:19.72]I'm glad I shaved her head
[06:22.27]But then my father lost his job
[06:23.80]So we had to leave el paso
[06:24.80]And we wound up in st louis missouri
[06:27.25]Well it was the furthest
[06:27.97]Thing from my mind to be a dancer
[06:30.10]But my mother would embarrass me
[06:31.51]So when she'd come to pick me up at school
[06:32.90]With all those great big yellow rollers in her hair
[06:34.69]No matter how much I begged her and she'd say
[06:36.78]What are you ashamed of your own mother
[06:40.79]But the thing that made my daddy laugh so much
[06:43.77]Was when I used to jump and dance around the living room
