Mary  Pickford used to eat roses
Thought  that they'd make her beautiful  and they did
 One supposes
Douglas  Fairbanks, he was so handsome
He  wore a moustache
Must-a  had much cash, too
 Worth a king's ransom
Charlie  Chaplin, he  was invited
When  these artists  became  united
When  these artists  became united
David  Griffith worked as an extra
Then  as a stagehand
Until  they let him be
 director
Dave  was brave, a mover and shaker
 A true  pioneer
He  seemed to show no fear
 A real film maker
Just  like  Chaplin, he  was invited
When  these artists  became  united
When  these artists  became united
They tied  the knot  together
Groom  and bride  couldn't hide  their pleasure
They  tried  to pick  fair weather
 But love  died,  didn't last  forever
 
 
Mary  Pickford used to eat roses
Thought  that they'd make her beautiful  and they did

Douglas  Fairbanks, he was so handsome
He  wore a moustache
Must-a  had much cash, too
 Worth a king's ransom
Charlie  Chaplin, he  was invited
When  these artists  became  united
When  these artists  became united
When  these artists  became united
