Groucho Marx - Sarah Bernhardt lyrics

Spoken: I was playing the Palace Theater once, and Sarah Bernhardt was on the bill. She was one of the first great stars to play the Palace. She insisted on getting a thousand dollars in cash before she appeared. She was old at that time, but they wanted her at the Palace just the same. She used to do some scene, where she used to lie in a coffin and play a dramatic scene. Oh, she was alive. She only had one leg. Did you know that? She was getting a thousand dollars before each performance. I had two legs and I was getting fifty dollars a week.
