Shirley Temple Song Lyrics She's Only A Bird In A Guilded Cage (Glad Rags to Riches 1932) Lyrics/Music A.J.Lamb/H.Von Tilzer (1900) Picture: Singing at 4 years of age

She's only a bird in a guilded cage
A beautiful sight to see
You may think she's happy and free from care
She's not, though she seems to be

'Tis sad when you think of her wasted life
For youth cannot mate with age
Her beauty was sold, for an old man's gold
She's a bird in a guilded cage
