And have a chance to travel up and down

Around the country, seein’ every town,

And after every act they’d call fer me;

All week I’d only work two afternoons,

And nearly everywhere I went I’d see

My picture in the windows of saloons.

I’d have a stage name that was grand to hear—

I think I’d make it Reginald De Vere—

Gee! Wouldn’t that loom up great on the bills?

They’d never know they cheered fer Eddie Mills
