Hand in hand we will 'cross the land

From the west coast way up to Maine

Boarding train after train

See the nation along vacation

What's to fear we're together here

But my dear before we can go

Vaudeville has traditions

My young wife ought to know

There's the small time and the medium time

And the big time and the medium small time

Small time and the medium time and the big time

And kiwanis hall time

Big time looks down on medium time

Looks down on small time

Looks down on accordion players

Small time

Big time

Big small medium time

On the road from Maine to Dallas

Hoping that we'll play the palace

Smiles from you are a rave review

Put a big time star on my door

I can hear the crowds roar

Spotlight hits me the spotlight fits me

When you touch me and when you hold me

My name lights up the marquee

Just to know that you love me

Is the big time for me

There's a small time and a medium time

And a big time and a medium small time

Packing unpacking and packing we're off to altuna

Tomorrow goodbye altuna

Cooking scrubbing washing ironing

Mend his britches feed his pony

Learn to live on cold baloney

Smiles from him make my senses swim

I get big time feelings inside

Once an ignorant bride

Now I'm knowing and all aglowing

When he holds me and when he loves me

We're close as lovers can be

On the circuit together

Life is joyous and free

Thank goodness we have no family

There's only will and me

Howdy I'm will Rogers jr'

Howdy I'm Mary Rogers

Howdy I'm James Rogers

Howdy

Well here comes freddy

We're glad our dad's in vaudeville

And we've got fun

'Cause we bag down in any town

Not just in one

Before we're bored with kids we meet

We got our van

There's no mean ol' school superintendent

Hounding us 'cause we're independent

At night our mommy reads to us

And hears us pray

Then we sneak to the musical

Watch daddy play

Scratch your skull tilt your head

Make the people glad

Folks ask us what we wanna be

When we grow up we're gonna be

Just like dad

From the small time to the medium time to the big time

No more medium small time

Up up

Climbing up up

No more small time

Or kiwanis hall time

Finish packing let's get cracking

Wear your boots it's gonna rain

Do your homework on the train

Smiles from us are a family plus

We're together getting along

Sometimes weak sometimes strong

Sad or happy or mad or scrappy

Nothing is easy and nothing's perfect

We still complain and we fight

But 'long as we stay together

It's the big time for us

Rogers and Rogers and Rogers Rogers

Rogers Rogers

It's the big time for us
