The Actor's Dream - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE ACTOR'S DREAM. As sung by Tony Pastor. 
We'd a trip "Across the Continent," Old "Forty-nine "and I; Met "Orpheus and Eurydice," Discussing "Romany Rye." Saw "Fritz in Ireland, " "In the Ranks," With "Clio "at the ball; And "Hazel Kirke, " "Three of a Kind," Jump "Over the Garden Wall." In a quiet little "Hamlet," Where the "Lights o' London "shone, "Two Orphans " with "The Magistrate," At "School "sat all alone. Then "The Mighty Dollar, " "Her Atonement" "Eily "said would be, While "Adonis, " with "We, Us & Co.," Struck "Rosed ale "on a spree. 
Chorus. The lovely "Piquita," And there's none could be sweeter, On Tom, Dick and Harry did spoon; While "M'liss " in a twinkle, With gay "Rip Van Winkle," "Skipped by the Light of the Moon." 
"Our American Cousin "soon we met, On his "Vacation "there; With "Kit, the Arkansas Traveler," Likewise "Fedora " fair. So, "Round the World in S0 Days" We went, but were "Called Back" By "Sealed Instructions, " though no "Cheek Nor "Money "did we lack. But while "The Black Flag "waved aloft A funny sight I saw"Old Lavender " won the "Banker's Daughter" In a "Corner Grocery Store;" A "Parlor Match "it proved to be, They soon were "Man and Wife;" And a " Pair of Kids "will just complete Their "Lottery of Life." 
Chorus. "Pygmalion and Galatea," Sipped Erlanger beer "Ten Nights in a Bar Room, " quite rash; And the "Stranglers of Paris" All tried to embarrass "Sam! of Posen, " who paid them "Spot Cash."
