At the Moving Picture Ball |
| Hip hooray |
| I feel delighted |
| Yesterday |
| I was invited |
| To a swell affair |
| All the movie stars were there |
| Oh what fun |
| The party lasted |
| Till the break of dawn |
| Famous players |
| Turned to cabareters |
| How they fooled and carried on |
| Dancing at the moving picture ball |
| Some scenario |
| Great big stars paraded 'round the hall |
| They were merry, Oh |
| Handsome Wallace Reid |
| Stepped out full of speed |
| And Theda Bara, Was a terror |
| She «vamped the little lady» |
| So did Alice Brady; |
| Douglas Fairbanks shimmied on one hand |
| Like an acrobat |
| Mary Pickford did a toe dance grand and |
| Charlie Chaplin with his feet |
| Stepped all over poor Blanche Sweet |
| Dancing at that moving picture ball |
| Ev’ry girl |
| A handsome looker |
| Had a dance |
| With Mister Zukor |
| Mister Thomas Ince |
| Stepped around just like a prince |
| William Fox |
| And Jessie Lasky |
| Both joined in the fun |
| Big directors |
| Mingled with the actors |
| Why the whole bunch seemed like one |
| Dancing at the moving picture ball |
| Some scenario |
| Great big stars paraded 'round the hall |
| They were merry, Oh |
| Handsome Wallace Reid |
| Stepped out full of speed |
| And Theda Bara, Was a terror |
| She «vamped the little lady» |
| So did Alice Brady; |
| Douglas Fairbanks shimmied on one hand |
| Like an acrobat |
| Mary Pickford did a toe dance grand and |
| Sennet’s bathing girls were there |
| Each one was a little «bear» |
| Dancing at that moving picture ball |
