Milton Jacobson |
| Make yourself like Milton Jacobson |
| To get ahead in vaudeville |
| Burlesque in Detroit Michigan |
| To get ahead in vaudeville |
| Forbidden nights and burning moments |
| Playful girls and savage crime |
| If you want to get ahead in vaudeville |
| Be a witness to the march of time |
| If you want to get ahead in the showbiz game |
| Be sure that your ideas are fresh |
| Does anybody have a toothpick, ma’am |
| Has anybody got boiled eggs? |
| We’re going to play a game of Screeno |
| While the girls kick up their legs |
| If you can tell a joke about the eggs I broke |
| Or a man who had a dog called Sex |
| Bone 'em up in Barnum’s Lexicon |
| The words that pull the biggest crowd |
| 'Sexotic, sexquisite, sexsational' |
| Make sure your poster’s extra loud |
| Get girls from the Accordion College |
| Gigantic reptiles can be nice |
| Busby Berkley wheelchairs, my oh my |
| Bums dressed up as bears on ice |
| You’ve said such lovely things about my handlebar mustache |
| You’ve said such lovely things about my hat |
| Here’s a genuine semi-precious stone |
| I just wanted to tell you that |
| I’ve been watching with binoculars from opposite the theatre |
| And you’re a lovely person, but |
| You’ll never get ahead in vaudeville |
| If I catch you with your hand in the till |
| (One more time) |
| If I catch you one more time with your hand in the till |
| You’ll never get ahead in vaudeville |
