Title
Everybody takes his hat off to me
Additional title: Ev'ry body takes off his hat to me. A star of the brightest kind. Living on the sunny side of Easy Street, This is my night to shine. [first line of chorus]
Additional title: This question's agitating every body in the neighborhood, Who is that fresh arrival hear them say, He came to town but this evening so inquisitive folks want to know, Who is the dark intruder, I wonder how long he's going to stay. [first line]
