    My Mother Doesn’t Know I’m On The Stage
    Composer(s): Billy Bennett
    Performer(s): Billy Bennett



    I'm cherishing a secret in my bosom
    About this dreadful stage-life that I lead
    I've heard it said that Pro's are decent people
    But according to the papers that I read
    Both actresses and actors are dead 'wrong-uns'
    Whether from the 'Palace' or the 'Hippodrome'
    The chaps I meet outside know I'm an actor
    But I never breathe a word of it at home

    So, my mother doesn't know I’m on the stage
    It would break her poor old heart if she found out
    She knows I'm a deserter
    From the Scottish Fusiliers
    She knows I stole a blind-man's can
    That got me seven years!
    She knows I've been connected
    With a gang of West-End Pests
    And the police have had me twice inside the cage
    And she knows I mix with ladies that have got a shady past
    But my mother doesn't know I'm on the stage

    Sometimes she sees the powder on my clothing
    And then it's such a nuisance to explain
    If she thought that it was powder she'd go crazy
    Of course, I have to tell her it's cocaine
    The day she met me out with Gladys Cooper
    She started screaming, "Murder!" and "Police!"
    And would have caused a dreadful scene in public
    So I told her that the girl was 'Crippen's' niece

    'Cos', my mother doesn't know I'm on the stage
    And when I draw six hundred pounds each week
    If she knew where it came from
    She’d shoot me like a dog
    So I told her I'd stole the moneybox
    From an Irish Synagogue
    She can think that I'm a murderer
    Before she'll know the truth
    I have to have respect for her old age
    And she knows that I'm a bigamist, a blackguard and a crook
    But thank Heaven she don't know I'm on the stage
