|
i saw him down at the drive-in saturday |
|
a forty five to blow away anyone who happens to disagree |
|
With such panache and style, he wins the game |
|
when all the while, i'm sitting here thinking that it could be me |
|
Suddenly, in walks a criminologist |
|
with too much knowledge to resist and plenty of answers for |
|
the good at heart |
|
No fear, no pain, no sweat, the teardrop on the serviette |
|
Oh i could be a hero if i was that smart |
|
Silver cloud, silver tongue on a silver lover screen |
|
with the sweetest of the sweet and meanest of the mean |
|

|
Act smarter than charlie chan, oh |
|
Love longer than valentino |
|
or you never will be a man |
|
back to the movies where |
|
the lady, beset by his charms, falls faintly in the lover's arms |
|
the fate of every watching woman in his hands |
|
after the earth moves, musn't dwell, our hero bids a fond farewell |
|
upon his trusty camel 'cross the desert sands |
|
with the bad guys in a fix and the ladies in a spin |
|
where does fantasy end and reality begin? |
|
Talk tougher than james cagney |
|
Act smarter than charlie chan, oh |
|
Love longer than valentino |
|
or you never will be a man |
|
When you take up the sword and you fight the good fight |
|
with your ego in the red and your dreams in black and white. |
