Hand in hand
We will cross
The land
From the west coast
Way up to Maine
Boarding train
And after train
See the nation
A long vacation
What's to fear
We're together here
But my dear
Before we can go
Vaudeville has
Traditions
My young wife
Ought to know
There's the small time
And the medium
Time and the
Big time
And the medium
Small time
Small time and the
Medium time
And the big time
And Kiwanis Hall
Time
Big time looks down
On medium time
Looks down
On small time
Looks down on
Accordion players
Small time
Big time
Big small
Medium time
On the road from
Maine to Dallas
Hoping that we'll
Play the Palace
Smiles from you
Are a rave review
Put a big time star
On my door
I can hear the
Crowd roar
Spotlight hits me
The spotlight fits me
When you touch me
And when you
Hold me
My name lights up
The marquee
Just to know that
You love me
Is the big time
For me
There's a small time
And a medium time
And a big time
And a medium
Small time
Packing, unpacking
And packing
We're off to Altuna
Tomorrow
Goodbye Altuna
Cooking, scrubbing
Washing, ironing
Mend his britches
Feed his pony
Learn to live
On cold bologny
Smiles from him
Make my senses swim
I get big time
Feelings inside
Once an ignorant
Bride
Now I'm knowing
And all aglowing
When he holds me
And when
He loves me
We're close as
Lovers can be
On the circuit together
Life is joyous
And free
Thank goodness we
Have no fam'ly
There's only
Will and me
Howdy
I'm Will Rogers, Jr.
Howdy
I'm Mary Rogers
Howdy
I'm James Rogers
Howdy, well
Here comes Freddie
We're glad our dad's
In Vaudeville
Ain't we got fun
'Cause we bed down
In any town
Not just in one
Before we're bored
With kids we meet
We got our fun
There's no mean
Old school
Superintendent
Hounding us 'cause
We're independent
At night our
Mommmy reads to us
And gives us praise
Then we sneak to
The music hall
Watch Daddy play
Strut your stuff
Tilt your head
Make the people
Glad
Folks ask us
What we want to be
When we grow up
We're gonna be
Just like Dad
From the small time
To the medium time
To the big time
No more medium
Small time
Up, up, winding up
Up, no more
Small time
Or Kiwanis Hall
Time
Finish packing
Let's get cracking
Wear your boots
It's gonna rain
Do your homework
On the train
Smiles from us are
A family plus
We're together
Getting along
Sometimes weak
Sometimes strong
Sad or happy
Or mad or scrappy
Nothing's easy
And nothing's perfect
We still complain
And we fight
But as long as we
Stay together
It's the big time
For us
Rogers and Rogers
And Rogers
Rogers
Rogers, Rogers
It's the big time
For us... !
