From a memory , inspierd by resent poem of Elli , '' Hoofers'' . The U K , had the ''Varity shows'' .Not so dismler to the American ''vaudeville '' shows.


THE CHARLY CHESTER VARIATY SHOW!!!

Thea were a time when variety shows

Were the place too goo on a Friday or

A Saturday night ,

A proper family night out ,

In most city's and towns in the U K,

Then we all got the goggle box ,

Family stayed home,

The demise of Variety had began ,

Soon it's death , oh what a tragedy

Fore us all ,

I was privilege too see Charley Chester,

And his variety show

A famous comedian in his day ,

A real trooper as his kind were called ,

Who got high on aplorse , the aderlastion

Of HIS audeance , the smiling fases ,

I whent with me mum , dad and me two

Sister's , oh what a joy to be there ,

Charly teling endless jokes geting us

All the mood fore the evenings entertainment ,

Charly intredust each ack intern ,

Fierst a young girl age a gues 30 plus ,

What a vise she had , had too stand away

From the mike , sing just the popular songs of

The day , no hevey rock , not yet the vogue of

The young ,

On would come Charley sing a duet with her ,

She took here bow , left the stage to Charley ,

More jokes he told , then he intregoust a magison ,

Who spellbound us with his majik , slight of hand,

Then Charley interdusde a male singer , past

His peeck , but he still could sing , sang a duet

With the lady singer ,

On and on the eavning went, a troop dancers ,

Hoofers true,

A guest comedan , on the up or on his way down,

Who knows who cared , we got all we needed that

Night at the Pave*, the show ended with all ack's

Singing , how we all aplorded them , stood up ,

Whisaling our thanks to one and all ,

Espeshly Charley , bless his memory, what a trooper!
