Willamania
Lyrics
Each early morning I get up Read his column with my coffee cup Never, ever start the day without Will His wit and wisdom let me see All the foibles of this century There's no way to start my day without Will Just multiply me by the millions From Gotham out to 'Frisco Bay Those Toms and Dicks and Jacks and Jillians Are asking "Hey, did you see what Will said today?" He's also king of Hollywood Now he stands where Valentino stood Biggest movie star by far is our Will At any time around the clock Lines keep forming all around the block Watch them fill the movie till for our Will He's got more fans than Shirley Temple (He's got more fans than Shirley Temple) He beat her out as number one (He beat her out as number one) He draws more crowds than Aimee Semple (He draws more crowds than Aimee Semple) The country'd rather do the dance that Will's begun Willamania! This dance has swept the nation Willamania! Dance of communication Black bottom Charleston, you have seen your last days So scratch your skull, tilt your head, and do the new craze. We call it Willamania! It's intercontinental! Will sure gets around! The shimshamshimmy's now a dance that's been had So nap your gum, twang your voice and do the new fad ♪ Those drums and smoke were long ago Now today we use the radio Once a week can't end my day without Will Rush home so I won't get there late Cause I've got this very special date Once a week the night belongs to my Will By means of coast to coastal network His words go floating ev'rywhere Each fam'ly hopes to make its set work So they can say, "D'ja hear what Will said on the air?" (Did you hear what Will said on the air? Did you hear what Will said on the air? Did you hear, did you hear, did you hear, did you hear? Did you hear what Will said on the air?) Willamania! This dance has swept the nation Willamania! Dance of communication The flapper, city slicker, farmhand and rube Connected by signals from the vacuum tube Willamania! He's also hit the White House Will sure gets around He talks up ev'rywhere, and tells us what's what A movie star, Ziegfield star, he's hotter than hot ♪ Willamania! From Cal to Pennsylvania! Willamania! Willamania! Scratch your skull, twang your voice Snap your gum for the people's choice- Brand new sage for a brand new age He makes our spirits climb It's Willamania time! Here's our Will!
