A Portrait Of Cary Grant

from A Portrait Of Cary Grant (single with B side) by John Zonn

about

It's all about early film and of course in particular Cary Grant, who acted in 'movies' from the 1930s through to the swinging 60s. Time moves on and we look back now from our post-modern lives at the stars of the modern era and the evolution of the silver screen...

lyrics

Cary Grant, was a plant, an inside man with an outside tan, cos Cary Grant, he just can't he just can't, control his feet, he looks so alarmed, can't believe that everyone's so charmed, by his air of sophistication, though there were questions about his orientation, always looked so spick and span, a proper fine upstanding man, he's an example to us all, with his Transatlantic drawl. So Cary Grant, we are like him but aren't, he was debonair, with his sculpted hair, cos Cary Grant, he just can't, he just can't, control his feet, they make him dance, he spoke the language, of fine romance, the nicest feller you could meet, he would expect you to be discreet, he fell in love with the leading lady, his silver tongue always at the ready, he played an actor playing a part, like a painter making art. I'm merely trying to play some golf. I don't believe it. Oh I do wish you'd trust me. Everything's gonna be alright. Take that little squirt and beat it. Good day, à bientôt. Just dropped in for a chat. Jumping geehosaphat.
