Anyone can get lucky in america [00:00:00]

I remind myself of this everyday [00:00:02]

The first nickel i ever earned [00:00:06]

I keep in a little silver frame [00:00:10]

It's how i gave my company a name [00:00:12]

Reminding me how very far i came [00:00:14]

I was a[00:00:21]

Maker of the silhouettes[00:00:24]

Who made a small improvement-[00:00:25]

A little book of silhouettes[00:00:26]

That simulated movement [00:00:28]

Well people seemed to like it [00:00:29]

Soon the money's going clink [00:00:31]

And i'm buffalo nickel photoplay inc [00:00:32]

I go from[00:00:36]

Silhouettes to photos [00:00:37]

I invent a small projector [00:00:39]

And soon i'm making movies[00:00:41]

And they're calling me director [00:00:42]

An industry is dawning[00:00:44]

And i'm standing on the brink-[00:00:45]

Mister buffalo nickel photoplay inc [00:00:46]

Life shines from the shadow screen[00:00:50]

Comical yet infinitely true [00:00:53]

People love to see what people do [00:00:56]

Here where everyone is someone new [00:00:59]

Such tales from the shadow screen [00:01:02]

Little men who never get the breaks [00:01:05]

Fighting on till something fin'lly takes-[00:01:09]

What a lovely movie it all makes [00:01:12]

Well business is booming[00:01:18]

I'm happy to say [00:01:20]

I just made a contract[00:01:21]

To film for pathe[00:01:23]

A series of chapters[00:01:24]

That end in suspense-[00:01:26]

Each week see what's next[00:01:27]

For another five cents [00:01:29]

And i am[00:01:32]

Waking every morning[00:01:33]

Filled with such anticipation [00:01:34]

I frame the sea [00:01:36]

I frame the sky [00:01:37]

And this is my vacation [00:01:38]

I shake your hand [00:01:39]

I kiss your hand [00:01:40]

I buy you all a drink [00:01:41]

And maybe if you chance to see[00:01:42]

A movie that was made by me[00:01:43]

Remember when the name goes by[00:01:45]

That's ash-k-e-n-a-z-y[00:01:46]

The baron now american [00:01:49]

Who happened once to think[00:01:50]

Of silhouette and flicker book[00:01:52]

And movies as they're meant to look[00:01:53]

And buffalo nickel photoplay inc [00:01:56]
