Now the curtain is going[D] up,[D7][G]
The entert[D]ainer is ta[A7]king a [D]bow,
Does his dance step and [D7]sings his s[G]ong,
Even g[E7]ets all the audience to s[A7]ing [G]alo[A7]ng,
Yes, he k[D]nows just what [D7]he must [G]do,
Knows how to b[D]ring down the h[A7]ouse when he'[D]s through,
Snappy patter and j[D7]okes, he knows what [G]pleases the [Gm]folks,
The entert[D]ainer, the s[A7]tar of the s[D]how.
It was in vaudeville and he was [D7]on the bill,
With all the s[G]ingers, dancers, a[Gm]crobats and c[D]lowns,
There was a dancing bear, even a dog act there,
And a com[A]edian who n[E7]ever let 'em[A] down,
But, when [D]he came on to do his f[D7]av'rite song,
He really [G]wowed 'em in th[Gm]e cities and the[D] to[D7]wns,
They came from n[G]ear and f[Ab]ar, to see the v[D]audeville star,
The [E7]enter[A7]tain[D]er!
