They had to hire a hall to do it right
Pay the band to play all night
For dancing at the Moving Picture Ball
Gee what a swell afair, all of the stars were there

Hip hurray, (hurray) I feel delighted
Yesterday, I was invited
To a swell affair
All the movies stars were there (all of the stars were there)

Oh what fun (what fun), the party lasted
'til the break of dawn
There were famous players turned to cabareters
How they fooled and carried, carried on

While dancing at the Moving Picture Ball (what a ball)
Some scenario, great big stars paraded 'round the hall (round the hall)
They were merry old handsome Eddie Foy (Eddie Foy)
Danced with Myrna Loy (Myrna Loy)
Theda Bara was a terror, she vamped a little lady
So did Alice Brady

You know that Douglas Fairbanks balanced on one hand
(on just one hand) like an acrobat
Mary Pickford did a toed and scram and
Charlie Chaplin with his feet
Stepped all over poor Blanche Sweet

While dancing at that Moving Picture
da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
The eyes of the world will turn on all of the stars
While dancing at that Moving Picture Ball (wow what a ball)
