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 … |
