[TATEH as BARON ASHKENAZY, spoken]
Anyone can get lucky in America. I remind myself of this every day.
(sung)
The first nickel I ever earned
I keep in a little silver frame
It's how I gave my company a name
Reminding me how very far I came!
I was a
Maker of the silhouettes
Who made a small improvement—
A little book of silhouettes
That simulated movement
Well, people seemed to like it
Soon the money's going clink
And I'm Buffalo Nickel Photoplay, Inc.
I go from
Silhouettes to photos
I invent a small projector
And soon, I'm making movies
And they're calling me director!
An industry is dawning
And I'm standing on the brink—
Mister Buffalo Nickel Photoplay, Inc.!
