[Intro 1]
[G][C][F][Dm][D][G]
[C][Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Don't
put your daughter [B]on the [G]stage,
Mrs. [Dm]Worthington.
[G]Don[C]'t put your daughter
[Dm]on the stage.
[G]The profes[C]sion is [Edim]over cro[A]wded,
and the [Dm]struggle's pretty [E]tough,
and admit[Dm]ting the [A]fact
she's [Dm]burning to [D]act,
that isn't quite [G]enough.
She [Edim]has nice hands
to [A]give the [Dm]wretched girl her due,
but [B]don't you think her bust is
too de[A]veloped for her age?
[D]I r[G]epeat, Mrs.[C] Worthin[Am]gton,
sweet Mr[D]s. Worthington,
[E]don't put your [Dm]daughter
[C]on the stage.
Regarding [C#dim]yours,
[Dm]dear Mrs. Wort[G]hington,
[C]of Wednesday the 23r[Dm]d,
[G]although your baby may[C] be
keen [G]on a stage career,
how [Em]can I make it [E]clear
this [Am]is not a [A]good ide[C]a?
For her to [C#dim]hope, dear Mrs[Dm]. Wor[G]thington,
[Eb]is on the face of it abs[A]urd.
[G]Her personality is [A]not[G], in reality[D], exciting[G] enough,
inviting enough, for this particular sphere.
[C]Don't put your daughter on the [Dm]stage,
Mrs. [F]Worthing[Dm]ton,
[C]don't put your daughter
on the [Dm]stage.[G]
She's [C]a bit of an ugly duckling,
[Dm]you must honestly confess,
[G]and the wid[C]th of her seat
would [D]surely defeat her
chances [G]of success.
It's [C]a loud v[Dbdim]oice,
and [A]though it's not ex[Dm]actly flat,
she'll [B]need a little more than [Em]that
to [Dm]earn a living [G]wage.
On my [C]knees, Mrs. Worthington,
[Dm]please, Mrs. [D]Worthington,
don't [G]put your daughter
on the [C]stage.[G]
[C]Don't put your daughter [Dm]on the stage,
[G]Mrs. Worthington,
[C]don't put your daughter
[Dm]on the stage.
[G]Though [C]they said at the School of Act[A]ing
she [Dm]was lovely as Peer Gyn[E]t,
I'm [Dm]afraid on the [Am]whole
an in[A]genue [E]role
would [B]em phasize [G]her squint.
[Edim]She's a big girl,
[A]and though her tee[Dm]th are fairly good,
she's [B]not the type
I ever would be [A]eager to engage.
[D]No [G]more but[C]s, Mrs. Worthington.
[Dm]Nut s, Mrs. [D]Worthington.
[G]Don't put your daughter on the [C]page.
