| lyric | Act! The Entertainer! Lights! Music!
Now the curtain is going up,
The Entertainer is taking a bow;
Does his dance steps and sings his song,
Even gets all the audience to sing along.
Yes he knows just what he must do,
Knows how to bring down the jouse when he’s throught.
Snappy patter and jokes,
ho knows whatpleases the folks,
The Entertainer’s the Star of the Show,
It was in vaudeville and he was on the bill
with all the singers, dancers, acrobats and clowns,
There was a dancing bear, even a dog act there
and a comeidan who never lett ’em down.
But when ho came on t o do his fav’rite song
he really wowed ’em in the cities and the towns.
They came from near and far
to see the vaudeville star,
The Enteratainer!
Now, the curtain is going up,
The Entertainer ist taking a bow;
Does his dancestep and sings his song,
Even gets all the audience to sing along.
Yes,he knows just what he must do,
knows how to bring down the house
when he’s through.
Snappy patter and jokes,
he knows what pleases the folks,
The Entertainers the Star of the Show.
First he gave’em the buck uund wing,
then the old soft shoe.
Then he rendered a recitation
and a monologue or two.
You could tell by the hush of the crowsd
that he was the act they were all waiting for,
Than they gave him a standing ovation,
the balcony yellin’ for more.
More! More! More!
Now, the curtain is going up,
The Entertainer ist taking a bow;
Does his dancestep and sings his song,
Even gets all the audience to sing along.
Yes,he knows just what he must do,
knows how to bring down the house
when he’s through.
It’s a wonderful act he’s always asked to come back.
When he’s on the bill he alwaysgives you a thrill.
With young and old he still draws
and he loves the applaues,
and ev’rybody here knows he’s a pro.
The Entertainer is the star of the Show. |
