Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Who hasn’t been to a picture show
And gazed with surprise and delight
At scenes that are happy and scenes that are sad
And pictures of daytime and night
But there is one picture, a feast for the eyes
It sets all our hearts in a whirl
A vision of loveliness, peaches and cream
You know her, the Vitagraph girl
Chorus:
I’m in love with the Vitagraph girl
The sweet little Vitagraph girl
Each movement a picture of romance or hate
Her tragedy’s bully, her love simply great
I’m entranced with her charms and her grace
That I see as the pictures unfurl
Of all girls that I’ve met
She’s the very best bet
I’m in love with the Vitagraph girl
- The boys are all happy when she’s in sight
The girls simply rave at her style
Proposals she’s had by the thousand or more
The chorus girls beaten a mile
And if she is chased my some villain or brute
All pity this cute little pearl
She laughs, they laugh with her
She weeps, they weep, too
With the dear little Vitagraph girl
