"Don't put your daugter on the stage
Mrs Worthington" so the song goes
She was warned but look what happened
As the girl had certainly ripened
It was not me to be the one
To give her such good advice
She was given an explanation
For the sweet lass had an acting passion
Acting in a play, why not I say?
What harm can come of this venture?
Her parents pleaded and tears she cried
But nevertheless she persisted
Actors, producers found her quite bright
And taught her a lot both day and night
So it was she became a star
Acted in theatres both near and far
T'was sad to see her move far away
I knew her when we were both at school
She always looked over my shoulder
For someone much richer and older
