in the 1910s, the chaplin-mania took off like a rocket. firmly and steadily, his fame soared to the sky. and strongly ignoring all sorts of copy-right and cashing in on the phenomenon, there were numerous songs composed in honour of the little fellow with the baggy pants. so, here are some examples of period adoration of a global phenomenon. harry potter had nothing on the tramp!
'those charlie chaplin feet' from 1915:


'when the moon shines bright on charlie chaplin' from 1918:


'clap hands! here comes charlie' from 1925:

naturally, these are only a few examples, being the more known songs still today by comparison. there were many more out there.
