Lyrics
Chorus
Dancing at that 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
Chorus
Dancing at that 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
