Sticky sweets and little wooden benches
Afternoons of pleasure, magic screen
Kids around the world are brought together
Sharing all the wonders to be seen
Hollywood had come to entertain us
Cheapest seats are in the balcony
Movie queens and heroes brave and famous
We're the golden kings of comedy
Charlie Chaplin, he could make us laugh and he could make us cry
Charlie Chaplin, never quite as clever as the other guy
Charlie Chaplin, funny little hero of the matinee
Charlie Chaplin, king of all the kings of comedy
Charlie Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin
Never quite the clever valentino
He could walk a long and crooked mile
Proving that a man could start at zero
Lose the lot and leave us with a smile
Hollywood, we thank you for our pleasure
You've grown old, and sadly so must we
But it seems the world will always treasure
Charlie and the kings of comedy
Charlie Chaplin, he could make us laugh and he could make us cry
Charlie Chaplin, never quite as clever as the other guy
Charlie Chaplin, funny little hero of the matinee
Charlie Chaplin, king of all the kings of comedy
Charlie Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin
