Scott Joplin - The entertainer

Now the ^Dcurtain is ^D7going ^Gup, The entert^Dainer is ta^A7king a ^Dbow, Does his dance step and ^D7sings his s^Gong, Even g^E7ets all the audience to s^A7ing ^Galo^A7ng, Yes, he k^Dnows just what ^D7he must ^Gdo, Knows how to b^Dring down the h^A7ouse when he’^Ds through, Snappy patter and j^D7okes, he knows what ^Gpleases the ^Gmfolks, The entert^Dainer, the s^A7tar of the s^Dhow.

It was in vaudeville and he was ^D7on the bill, With all the s^Gingers, dancers, a^Gmcrobats and c^Dlowns,

And a com^Aedian who n^E7ever let ‘em^A down, But, when ^Dhe came on to do his f^D7av’rite song, He really ^Gwowed ‘em in th^Gme cities and the^D to^D7wns, They came from n^Gear and f^G#ar, to see the v^Daudeville star, The ^E7enter^A7tain^Der!
