lyrics

An actor in a vaudeville shoe was sitting on the end,
A pretty gal in the very front row with "heaps of a dough to spend"
Looked up at him with a silly smile.

Started a singing his am song, forgot-a most-a every line,
And the manager hurried back and said you gotta pay a fine.
He lost his job for quite a while.

Well jes because she made dem a goo goo eyes, well I don't know!
Thought I'd won her home and caught the prize, "you ain't so warm"
She is the best what is and I need her in my biz.
It's jes because she dem a goo goo goo eyes.

Next morning when the troupe had left, his baby throwed him down.
She tells that man I'll have you pinched if you hang a around a this a town,
Oh listen to my tale of woe.

He says I'll send a telespatch, and try and join the show
What can I do in this strange man's land, "can't eat without no dough"
So here he is out in the snow.

Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads! ... more
