[Barbra Streisand - 1965 Emmy Awards lyrics]
For outsanding individual acheivment in
The area of entertainment

For her outstanding performance in

And Emmy award is presented
To Barbra Streisand (cheers and applause)
Barbra:
This is so, kind of wild, because I'm, when I
Was a kid, I mean a younger kid
My favorite shows on telivision were
Always the Oscars and
The Emmys, you know, I never
Really cared who won, or anything like that
I used to watch how they how
He looked and how she looked
And was he drunk or was he drunk
(pause for laughter) And so, it's
Like a funny thing, i think I have
A run in my stocking tonight of all nights
(pause for laughter) Anyway
Um, I think whats so marvelous
About uh, this business
This television thing you
Got going for ya uh, this is
My first experience with it, and
I was completely thrilled because
I couldn't believe
The amount of people that watch
You in one given amout of time
Lets say like an hour, which
Was my special and, um, I
Figured it out that it, i'd have
To work in the theater, in Funny
Girl, 58 years to, um
Reach the same amount of people
(applause) Thank you and thank you Danny
