At The Moving Picture Ball

Maurice Burkhart


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 and carried on
Dancing at that moving picture ball
Some scenario
Great big stars paraded round the hall
They were merry-o
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
Marry Pickford
Did a toe dance grand
And Chalie Chaplin
With his feet
Stepped all over poor
Blanche sweet
Dancing at taht moving picture ball
Every a girl a handsome looker
Had a dance with
Mr. Zukor
Mr. Thomas Ince
Stepped around just a like a prince
William Fox and Jesse Lasky
Both joined in the fun
Big directors mingled with the actors
Why, the whole bunch seemed like one
Dancing at taht moving picture ball
Some scenario
Great big stars paraded round the hall
They were merry-o
Everyone jumped through
William Hart's lassoo and Olive Thomas
Why, she broke her promise
She got a little bolder
Shook her Wicked Shoulder
Pauline Frederick
Did a fox trot grand...
Why it was Beautiful
Norma Talmadge
Led that Jazzbo band
And sennett's bathing girls were there
Each one was a little bare
Dancing at taht moving picture ball
Dancing at taht moving picture ball
some scenario
Great big stars paraded round the hall
they were merry-o
Mr. Charlie Ray
Why, he walked a dog and say...
Miss Nazimova
Jazzed'em over
She made a big improvement
With every little movement
Fattv Arbuckle
Did a new dance grand
Called the turkish bath
Lost 3 hundred pounds, I understand
And Dorothy Dalton
A Spanish Qeen
Why, she shook her wicked tambourine
Dancing at taht moving picture ball
