Remember when everyone danced in the town
It got such a hold on the people around
Made such a hit that they all got it bad
And everybody just simply went mad
It got so they danced all the night and the day
If you were good you made a hit
But since moving pictures became all the rage
Everyone now must admit.
Chorus: It doesn't matter everywhere you go
Watch 'em coming out of any cinema show
Shuffling along, They're acting like a rabbit
When you've seen Charlie Chaplin, you can't help but get the habit
First they stumble over both their feet
Swing their sticks and look up and down the street
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
All your wife's relations and half a dozen others
In London, Paris and New York
Everybody does that Charlie Chaplin walk.
Since Charlie Chaplin became all the craze
Everybody copies his funny old ways
They copy his hat and the curl of his hair
His moustache is something you cannot compare
They copy the way he makes love to the girls
His method really is a treat
There's one thing 'bout Charlie they never will get
And that is the shoes on his feet, and
Chorus: It doesn't matter everywhere you go
Watch 'em coming out of any cinema show
Shuffling along, They're acting like a rabbit
When you've seen Charlie Chaplin, you can't help but get the habit
First they stumble over both their feet
Swing their sticks and look up and down the street
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
All your wife's relations and half a dozen others
In London, Paris and New York
Everybody does that Charlie Chaplin walk.

There‘s a funny man I know
Who gets all the people‘s dough,
He works in a movie show,
Mister Charlie Chaplin;
Dancing in the cabarets
Is a thing of bye-gone days,
Here‘s the latest and the greatest craze.
Hubby comes home ev‘ry night
With a great big appetite,
But he never gets a bite,
Wifey‘s at the movies;
Soon the wives will start to sob
Just join that Chaplin mob,
Ev‘ry man is throwing up his job.
Chorus
Those Charlie Chaplin feet,
Those funny Chaplin feet,
When he comes down the street
He makes a cop flop,
They chase him 'round the town,
An auto knocks him down,
Poor Charlie,
Twenty times a day they spill him,
But they never kill him.
Like a bug he gives the girls a hug,
And when he stubs his toes and bangs his nose,
You‘ll tumble from your seat,
One fat lady that I saw
Got a dislocated jaw,
Laughing at those Charlie Chaplin feet.
Those Charlie Chaplin feet,
Those funny Chaplin feet,
When he comes down the street
He starts to slip, trip,
And tumble ‘round the block,
They throw him off the dock,
Poor Charlie,
With his cane he goes in swimmin‘
Tickling all the women,
Tips his hat to ev‘ry dog and cat,
And when he starts to hop with one foot up,
You‘ll tumble from your seat,
I had a doggle on my knee
He barked and wagged his tail at me,
Laughing at those Charlie Chaplin feet.
Edgar Leslie & Archie Gottler‘s Those Charlie Chaplin Feet
is probably the most popular of the Chaplin Craze novelty songs.
