" Get Down On Dignity"

I remember watching Laurel & Hardy cartoons as a kid. I didn’t really get into silent films until much later. Off the Wall Cinema in Central Square, Cambridge was one of my favorite hangouts when I first got to Boston in the early 1980s. It was there that I was introduced to Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Harry Langdon, and many others. Of course, Chaplin was frequently featured. This song pays tribute to those silent comedians. I recorded it for my Reruns tape.

Get Down On Dignity

© 1985 Brian Hutzell

Little tramp

Baggy pants

Makes a laugh

Makes a man

Feel the fool

Lose his cool

Golden rule:

Spill the soup

Get down on dignity

A cream pie in the face of a royal flush

Get down on dignity

The comic crimson shade of a royal blush

Get down on dignity

Chewing gum on the seat of the royal pants

Get down on dignity

Anything to make ‘em look like a royal ass

Keystone cops

Keep the law

Kick the gods

In the crotch

Try to act

Matter of fact

Aristocrat

On the mat

Get down on dignity

A cream pie in the face of a royal flush

Get down on dignity

The comic crimson shade of a royal blush

Get down on dignity

Chewing gum on the seat of the royal pants

Get down on dignity

Anything to make ‘em look like a royal ass

Make ‘em laugh

Get down on dignity

A cream pie in the face of a royal flush

Get down on dignity

The comic crimson shade of a royal blush

Get down on dignity

Chewing gum on the seat of the royal pants

Get down on dignity

Anything to make ‘em look like a royal ass
