- Unknown - I Wants To Be The Leading Lady Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- (Words by George Totten Smith / George Fairman, 1901)
- Miss Arabella Snow, upon the stage would go, a man engaged her
- 'cause she was good looking, at fifteen dollars "per."
- said she "Excuse me sir, for leading roles of course with you I'm booking,"
- "The leading lady, eh?" said he "well in this play,
- you'll lead the march and say, the coach is waiting,"
- to Arabella Snow, it was an awful blow but she replied with smile most captivating.
- She quickly won his heart, and got the leading part,
- to star her in the piece was his intention, until one day he met,
- a frolic-some soubrette, and straight away he paid her marked attention,
- he gave her every song, he made her parts so strong,
- that Arabella's part was just a "feeder," then Arabella Snow said,
- "That soubrette must go we've got one leading lady so don't need her."
- I wants to be the leading lady, I wants to play the real star parts,
- make no mistake man, I knows how to act if you give me a chance
- you will see it's a fact, I'll make Bernhardt look like thirty cents.
- I wants to be the leading lady, I don't want no thinking part that's shady,
- I've got to have all the comedy lines
- and the center of the stage where the calcium shines,
- I wants to be the leading lady."
