Chorus:
Becky’s got a job in a musical show
She’s showing off her figure in the very front row
The fellows raise the dickens
When Becky starts a-kickin’
And all the boys are calling her a “Yiddisha chicken”
Becky’s getting twenty dollars a week
And how she does it no one seems to know
She’s got a coat made of seal, corsets with steel
She comes to the theatre in an automobile
And all of Miss Rebecca’s relatives
Want to go with a musical show
