Chaplin - Tramp Shuffle - Part 1 Lyrics


SENNETT
Chaplin.
CHARLIE
Yes sir?
SENNETT
That's funny!
CHARLIE
It is?
SENNETT
Yes. Do that walk for me again.
CHARLIE
This one?
SENNETT
What inspired that, boy?
CHARLIE
You did, sir.
SENNETT
Well, I do have that effect on people, don't I?
CHARLIE
You do, sir, yes.
SENNETT
Charlie, when I said I was gonna fire you,
I was just trying to scare you.
CHARLIE
You did.
SENNETT
And what would you call this?
CHARLIE
Character.
SENNETT
Ah, yes, you got me there. Character.

CHARLIE
He's a poet. A dreamer. A wanderer. A tramp!
SENNETT
A tramp? I like the sound of that.
But what's his, you know?
CHARLIE
Motivation?
EACH DAY HE'LL START
A NEW AND UNKNOWN JOURNEY.
AND IN HIS HEART
NO ONE WILL SEE HE'S LONELY.
HE'LL SEARCH THE WORLD
TO FIND A PLACE TO CALL HIS OWN.
HE'LL NEVER HAVE TO HIDE,
THOUGH POOR, HE'LL HAVE HIS PRIDE,
WHENEVER THE TRAMP SHUFFLES.

SENNETT
AND I SEE CHAPLIN PICTURES EVERYWHERE,
PEOPLE WAITING IN THE SQUARE,
BUYING TICKETS TO SEE.
AND YOU'LL BE TALKED ABOUT IN MAGAZINES,
RECOGNIZED ON MOVIE SCREENS,
LIGHTING UP THE MARQUEE.
AND THE DISTRIBUTORS WILL CALL MY NAME,
BEGGING TO GET IN THE GAME.
WHAT A GOLD MINE YOU'LL BE,

SENNETT (CONT’D)
OH, CHARLIE!
WITH MY NAME ABOVE YOU,
THE WORLD'S BOUND TO LOVE YOU,
WHEN THEY SEE THE TRAMP SHUFFLE.
SENNETT
Action!

THREE SHOWS FOR A DIME

CHARLIE
