Oh, I can see it all now
Long ago in a picture show when they gave you second bill
Long before the hero went in for the kill
Long before the damsel was undressed and in distress, oh, I remember
Performing in the Follies, an eccentric on the stage
In the Vaudeville Book of Heroes, you've taken a whole page
With Hattie you went touring, and all
The world you saw, and you remember
W.C., I can see the magic
Mister Fields, won't you juggle that ball?
W.C., I see the magic of it all
W.C., I can hear the laughter
Mister Fields, take a curtain call
W.C., I see the magic of it all
Of it all
Mae West played your charade and Lee Roy played the kid
The audience didn't understand everything you did
With forty years of hindsight, we all
Now claim to know, and yet I wonder
The golden age of Hollywood with all its sultry vamps
With custard pies and blackened eyes and lots of funny tramps
With all your friends around you, you
Brought it all to life, and they remember
W.C., I can see the magic
Mister Fields, won't you juggle that ball?
W.C., I see the magic of it all
W.C., I can hear the laughter
Mister Fields, take a curtain call
W.C., I see the magic of it all
-Scat singing
And I remember, uh-huh-huh
All those treasured moments and all black and white movies
And on TV we can marvel as we watch those treasured things
When they blessed you and they dressed you
And you'll always be the star, and we remember
W.C., I see the magic
Mister Fields, won't you juggle that ball?
W.C., I see the magic of it all
W.C., I can hear the laughter
Mister Fields, take a curtain call
W.C., I see the magic of it all
W.C., I can see the magic
Mister Fields, won't you juggle that ball?
W.C., I see the magic of it all
W.C., I can hear the laughter
Mister Fields, take a curtain call
W.C., I see the magic of it all
W.C., I see the magic
Mister Fields, won't you juggle that ball?
