You could laugh till you cried
You could lose yourself a while
In the silent screen
You'd forget where you'd been
But you'd see you were part
Of the silver screen

All the world just passed you by
You just sat there starry-eyed

As the lady of the keys
Added atmosphere with ease
By her expertise
And the hero got his man
While the Keystone cops
Were still trying to find the gap

All the world just passed you by
You just sat there starry-eyed

Then came the day when those
Talking pictures came to town
This innovation had
People talking for miles around

They had forgotten the thrills they had seen
When men like Chaplin had come to the screen
Gone was the silence that once was a dream
The day the talkies came to town
The day the talkies came to town
The day the talkies came to town

You could laugh till you cried
You could lose yourself a while
In the silent screen
You'd forget where you'd been
But you'd see you were part of the silver screen

All the world just passed you by
You just sat there starry-eyed

Then came the day when those
Talking pictures came to town
This innovation had
People talking for miles around

They had forgotten the thrills they had seen
When men like Chaplin had come to the screen
Gone was the silence that once was a dream
The day the talkies came to town
The day the talkies came to town
The day the talkies came to town.
