You went on
He stayed
I was born on the table
I was born in the streets
It’s a true story
We boosted our draft
It’s your choice
We lived in a slum
You made pennies
Being poor was pretty awful
I was the French Marilyn Monroe
I was held back
I have two sons
I’ve been a nurse since 1987
American Dream
My father was my role model
Dad was right
We’re all getting older
They said she had a Jewish accent
In the 40s New York was wide open
Everybody wore hats in those days
I felt like a Goddess in it
Archie & Edith Bunker
I love my years
I was always the secretarial type
I was very mischievous
I went out to shine shoes
Demitasse of the morning
It was a horror
Light Breaks
I guess I was an expert
My father was an illegal immigrant
We don’t hire Jews
I never tell my age
Jobs were scarce
That’s the guy I’m gonna marry
I’ve been there
Every nationality lived there
I was born in Brooklyn
I was very close to the children
