Donald O'Conner

Donald O’Connor.

Nineteen twenty five the year
nothing very much to cheer.
The great depression in full swing
baby Donald entrancing.

Two stars of vaudeville his parents
till they met with tragic events.
A daughter killed aged seven
father died from reactive depression.

Mother struggled from city to city
then Donald became a child prodigy.
Paramount Pictures spotted him
easily passing their screen prelim.

Sing you Sinners the films name
as Crosby's brother a claim to fame.
With B movies he carried on
then Adolph Hitler came along.

After war it's A movie time
Singing in the Rain his prime.
A gold award for Make 'Em Laugh
thousands want his autograph.
