The Big Sleep |
| Point your suit at me and take my breath away |
| Better in black and white and chrome I have to say Now the big sleep |
| You play the hero and the villain every day |
| Equally charming in an unassuming way |
| See the girls weep |
| And now you’ve said goodbye a million hearts are sad |
| We were there with you Bob so were my mum and dad |
| Now the big sleep |
| Suits and swimming trunks and clergy you don’t care |
| Every one of them is scary we beware |
| I like Cape Fear |
| You’re out of place in some but you lift them from the mire |
| Better in the heat to watch your pecs perspire |
| Then there was Angel Face |
| And when you leave a scene a thousand footsteps fall |
| Can’t wait to see you back and walking very tall |
| Before the big sleep |
| Now sleep … |
| No-one around like you and Jimmy stuart anymore |
| I’d like to don my suit and even up the score |
| And try to take over |
| Painted ladies ain’t so glamorous today |
| Please take me back to 1941 today |
| Before Pearl Harbour |
| You’ve had some trials and tribulations just the same |
| You have to laugh a lot to stay ahead of the game |
| Before the big sleep |
| Now sleep … |
