That would be "I've Still Got My Health," introduced by Merman in PANAMA HATTIE (1940). Bette Midler sings a stanza or so of it in BEACHES.
The relevant lyric (not used by Midler in the film) runs:
"I knew I was slipping
At Minsky's one dawn
When I started stripping
They hollered, 'Put it on!'
Just once Billy Rose
Let me pose in the bare
But I've still got my health, so what do I care?" |
