Variety acts went out magicians all fell out
Strippers in tippers in ventriloquist dummy's out
Gypsy rose she was the best back in the days of good cheap burlesque
Jessie Mack ran the heart attack vaudeville comedians
Watch my baby shake she's up there on the stage marry me
From far away yer never gonna dance again
Watch my baby shake she's up there on the stage harmony
And melody began the long times square
John got a room at the Bowery house at 25 cents a bed
Flood light view of the chorus line that girl she saved my life
