[D] [D7] [G]
Now the curtain is going up,
[D] [A7] [D]
The entertainer is taking a bow,
[D7] [G]
Does his dance step and sings his song,
[E7] [A7] [G] [A7]
Even gets all the audience to sing along,
[D] [D7] [G]
Yes, he knows just what he must do,
[D] [A7] [D]
Knows how to bring down the house when he’s through,
[D7] [G] [Gm]
Snappy patter and jokes, he knows what pleases the folks,
[D] [A7] [D]
The entertainer, the star of the show.
[D7]
It was in vaudeville and he was on the bill,
[G] [Gm] [D]
With all the singers, dancers, acrobats and clowns,
There was a dancing bear, even a dog act there,
[A] [E7] [A]
And a comedian who never let ‘em down,
[D] [D7]
But, when he came on to do his fav’rite song,
[G] [Gm] [D] [D7]
He really wowed ‘em in the cities and the towns,
[G] [Gm] [D]
They came from near and far, to see the vaudeville star,
[E7] [A7] [D]
The entertainer!
