Original lyrics
ENVariety acts went out magicians
All fell out strippers in tippers
In ventriliquist dummys 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 shes up
There on the stage marry me from far away
Yer never gonna dance againwatch
My baby shake shes 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
