Modern Times

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

And it's a

Talent most people should learn

How to

Make you laugh without saying a word

People have to yell nowadays to get heard

But charlie was a man and that man could turn

Serious, into delirious, he had

A myriad of ways to paint a smile, and

Every woman in the house went, oh

If they wanted to act, they better aact on cue so

Refrain

He hicked the game go figure

Had no time for gold diggers

The mack daddy of the 1930's, i'm

Kicking back on the couch watching modern times

One more time

Rise 'em up

Hold that thought i got a vision, it's intense

I want a globe i can bounce off of people's heads

And when the earth starts shaking, people will commence

In a laughter, without one word being said

Does anybody here want to hear my voice

Or is silence the golden choice

Refrain

Ladies and gentlemen

Can you hold the applause, the show is about to begin

Instrumental

Refrain
