Alan Andrews The Ballad Of Orson Welles
this is the ballad of orson welles
the man who gave us war of the worlds
frightened the country
but ... got all the girls
oh well
then he gave us citizen kane
perhaps the greatest film ever made
that brought him riches
and that brought him fame
nobody was bigger than orson welles
Chorus
orson welles , orson welles,
orson welles , orson welles
i know what you’re thinking -
keep it to yourself
someday I’ll be bigger than orson welles
got himself a fine black suit
when he was 45 he wore a 52
he said pate foie gras
sure does take it’s toll on you
nobody was bigger than orson welles
orson welles , orson welles
orson welles , orson welle
i see you laughing
you can go to hell
someday i’ll be bigger than orson welles.
when i die And i’m at the pearly gates
i don’t give a damn
what saint peter has to say.
hey pete. where can i find - the free buffet?
i want to tie one on with orson welles
orson welles , orson welles
orson welles , orson welles
i know what you’re saying
only time will tell
someday i’ll be bigger than orson welles
keep on laughing
- i hear the dinner bell
someday i’ll be bigger than orson welles
