My Mother Doesn't Know I'm on the Stage - Jetsam[00:00:00]

I'm cherishing a secret in my bosom[00:00:15]

About the dreadful stage-life that I lead[00:00:18]

I've heard it said that Pro's are decent people[00:00:22]

But according to the papers that I read[00:00:26]

Both actresses and actors are dead 'wrong uns'[00:00:30]

Whether from the 'Palace' or the 'Hippodrome'[00:00:34]

The chaps I meet outside know I'm an actor[00:00:38]

But I never breathe a word of it at home [00:00:42]

So my mother doesn't know I'm on a stage[00:00:47]

It would break her poor old heart if she found out[00:00:51]

She knows I'm a deserter [00:00:56]

From the Scottish Fuseliers[00:00:57]

She knows I stole a blind-man's can[00:01:00]

That got me seven years [00:01:03]

She knows I've been connected[00:01:05]

With a gang of West-End Pests[00:01:07]

And the police have had me twice inside the cage[00:01:10]

And she knows I mix with ladies that have got a shady past[00:01:15]

But my mother doesn't know I'm on the stage [00:01:20]

Sometimes she sees the powder on my clothing[00:01:25]

And then it's such a nuisance to explain[00:01:29]

If she thought that it was powder she'd go crazy[00:01:34]

Of course I have to tell her it's coc*ine [00:01:38]

The day she met me out with Gladys Cooper[00:01:42]

She started screaming "Murder " and "Police "[00:01:46]

And would have caused a dreadful scene in public[00:01:51]

So I told her that the girl was 'Crippen's' niece [00:01:55]

'Cos' my mother doesn't know I'm on the stage[00:01:59]

And when I draw six hundred pounds each week[00:02:04]

If she knew where it came from[00:02:09]

She would shoot me like a dog[00:02:11]

So I said I'd stole the moneybox[00:02:14]

From an Irish Synagogue[00:02:17]

She can think that I'm a murderer[00:02:19]

Before she'll know the truth[00:02:22]

I have to have respect for her old age[00:02:25]

And she knows that I'm a bigamist a blaggard and a crook[00:02:29]

But thank Heaven she don't know I'm on the stage[00:02:35]
