Save the songs to your computer and play them. You do this by right clicking and choosing "save link as" or "save target as" and putting them on your computer where you can find them. Don't try playing them from the web page. It may work, but not well, and it bogs down the server. Note: If you're nervous, don't worry you won't have to sing or dance by yourself, but in groups. Costumes: You'll provide your own costume for the show. The costumes are simple. It is modern dress (street clothes or dance wear), and the color scheme is red, black, and white. You probably already have something you can use in your closet. Wear it rehearsals! I'm taking pictures. Bring a bottle of water with your name on it! Why you might want to do this:
Why I'm offering this:
You will be joining a small group of dedicated performers who met last semester to rehearse Vaudeville Tonight! Parents are always welcome to attend rehearsals, but it isn't required. Make sure I have the following:

Vaudeville Tonight! Lyrics adapted by Engela Edwards for Vaudeville
Tonight! (c) 2007
From Oh! You Circus Day by Edith Maida Lessing and Jimmie V. Monaco
Published 1919 by Broadway Music Corporation, New York
[Chorus]
Vaudeville Tonight,
just see that mule dressed up in pants,
See Salome do the hootchie dance,
Watch the acrobats tumbling down,
See that great big funny clown,
Look out, for that big grizzly bear,
He's a fright, he will bite,
Vaudeville Tonight! Just come on down sit very near,
Oh! my Honey ain't you glad we're here,
All the actors we'll investigate,
And the monkeys we will pestercate,
Oh! Vaudeville Tonight!
It looks like to me there’s a Vaudeville tonight,
Vaudeville tonight, Vaudeville tonight.
Can’t get enough funny stuff
And I like silly fluff
So it looks like a Vaudeville tonight.
It looks like to me there’s a Vaudeville tonight,
Vaudeville tonight, Vaudeville tonight.
Can’t get enough funny stuff
And I like silly fluff
So it looks like a Vaudeville tonight.
Verse 1: Katie Casey was baseball mad, had the fever and had it bad;
Just to root for the home town crew, every cent Katie spent*
On a Saturday, her young beau called to see if she'd like to go
To see a show, but Miss Kate said "no, I'll tell you what you can do:"
Chorus: Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack, I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team. If they don't win it's a
shame,
For it's one, two, three strikes you're out at the old ball game.
Verse 1: Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Ages 8-11 learn first verse and chorus.

Verse 1:
I've got a little baby, but she's out of sight,
I talk to her across the telephone.
I've never seen my honey but she's mine all right,
So take my tip and leave this gal alone.
Every single morning you will hear me yell,
"Hey Central! Fix me up along the line."
He connects me with ma honey, then I rings the bell,
And this is what I say to baby mine,
Chorus:
Hello! ma baby, Hello! Ma honey, Hello! ma ragtime gal.
Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart's on fire!
If you refuse me, Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone;
Oh baby, telephone and tell me I'm your own.
Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello there.

Verse 2:
This morning through the phone she said her name was Bess,
And now I kind of know where I am at.
I'm satisfied because I've got my babe's address
Here pasted in the lining of my hat.
I am mighty scared, 'cause if the wires get crossed,
'Twill separate me from ma baby mine,
Then some other man will win her, and my game is lost,
And so each day I shout along the line,
Hello, hello, hello.
Hello, hello, hello.
Chorus:
Hello! ma baby, Hello! Ma honey, Hello! ma ragtime gal.
Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart's on fire!
If you refuse me, Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone;
Oh baby, telephone and tell me I'm your own.
