THE ENTERTANIER by Scott Joplin

Now the curtain is going up,

The entertainer is taking a bow,

Does his dance step 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 entertainer, 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 comedian who never let ‘em down,

But, when he came on to 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 entertainer!
