[Verse 1]
[D][A][D][A]
[D]Don't
Put
Your
Daughter on the
Stage
[A]Don't
Mrs.
Worthington
[D]Don't put your daughter on the stage
[A]The profes[D]sion is overcrowded [B]an
d the [E]struggle's pretty [A]tough
And admit[D]ting the fact she's [E]burning to [A]act,
it's really not enough
She has [D]nice hands [F#dim]to
[B]give the wretched girl her [E]due
But [C#]don't you think her bust is
[F#]too de[D]veloped [B]for her [A]age?
I repeat,
[D]Mrs.
Worthington, [G]sweet
Mrs.
[E]Worthington,
[A]don't put your daughter on the [D]stage!
Regarding yours, dear
Mrs.
[A]Worthington, [D]of
Wednesday the [E]23rd,
[A]although your bab[D]y may be [B]kee[Em]n on [E]a stage caree[A]r,
how can I make [F#m]it cle[B]ar that this is [Em]not a goo[A]d idea?
[D]For her to [Ebdim]hope, dea[B]r
[A]Mr s.
Worthington, [F]is, the face of it, absurd.
[F#m]Her pe[B]rso[E]nality is not, in reality, inviting en[A]ough,
exciting enough for this particular [D]sphere.[A]
[D]Don't put your daughter on the [A]stage,
Mrs.
Worthington,
[D]don't put your daughter on the [E]stage.
[A]She's a bit of an ugl[D]y duckling, you[B] must honestly con[A]fess,
and the wit of [F#]her seat would [E]surely de[A]feat her chances of success.
She's [D]a loud voice, [B]and though it's not exactly [E]flat,
[C#]she'll need a little more than [F#]that to [Em]earn a [E]living [A]wage.
[D]On my knees,
Mrs.
Worthington
Please,
[E]Mrs.
Worthington
[A]Don't put your daughter
on the [D]stage[A]
Don't [D]put your daughter on the [G]stage,
Mrs.
[D]Worthing[A]ton
[D]Don't put your daughter
on the [E]stage[D]
[A]Though they [D]said at the
School of
Acting
[B]She was lovely as pure [D]gint
[A]I'm [D]afraid on the whole
An ingenue [A]role would emphasize
her squint
She's [D]a big girl
And [B]though her teeth are fairly good
She's [C#]not the type I e[F#]ver
[F#m]would be [D]eager [A]to engage
[A]No more [D]butts,
Mrs.
Worthington
Nut[G]s
Mrs.
[A]Worthington, don't put your daughter
on the [D]stage or your son.
[A]Don't put your daughter on the stage
