If ever you feel like a nobody–down and out, discouraged or unacknowledged–consider watching this 1935, just over six minute, cartoon video of Betty Boop . Every Little Nobody is a Somebody:
Here are the lyrics to her little jingle:
Betty Boop
Every little nobody is somebody to someone.
You’re not just a nobody – you’re somebody to me.
You just never had a chance to show what you can do.
Don’t you mind if now and then some people laugh at you.
Some day you’ll be somebody and nobody will tease you.
You’ll have lots of blue ribbons now you just wait and see.
Every little nobody is somebody to someone and you’ll always be somebody to me.
You’re not just a nobody – you’re somebody to me.
You just never had a chance to show what you can do.
Don’t you mind if now and then some people laugh at you.
Some day you’ll be somebody and nobody will tease you.
You’ll have lots of blue ribbons now you just wait and see.
Every little nobody is somebody to someone and you’ll always be somebody to me.
Boop–boop, a-doop to you!
