The Right Profile

Say, where did I see this guy?

In Red River?

Or A Place In The Sun

Maybe The Misfits

From Here to Eternity

And everybody say, "Is he all right?"

And everybody say, "What's he like?"

And everybody say, "He sure looks funny"

That's Montgomery Clift, honey

New York, New York, 42nd Street

Hustlers rustle and pimps pimp the beat

Monty Clift is recognized at dawn

He ain't got no shoes and his clothes are torn

And everybody say, "Is he all right?"

And everybody say, "What's he like?"

And everybody say, "He sure look funny"

That's that Montgomery Clift, honey

I see a car, smashed at night

Cut the applause and dim the light

Monty's face is broken on a wheel

Is he alive? Can he still feel?

And everybody say, "Is he all right?"

And everybody say, "Shine a light"

Everybody say, "It's not funny"

That's Montgomery Clift, honey

Shoot his right profile

And everybody say, "Is he all right?"

And everybody say, "What's he like?"

And everybody say, "He sure look funny"

That's Montgomery Clift, honey

Nembutol numbs it all

But I prefer alcohol

And everybody say, "What's he like?"

And everybody say, "Is he all right?"

And everybody say, "He sure look funny"

That's Montgomery Clift, honey

He said, "Go out and get me my old movie stills

Go out and get me another roll of pills

There I go shaking, but I ain't got the chills"

And everybody say, "What's he like?"

And everybody say, "Is he all right?"

And everybody say, "Sure looks funny"

I was trapped, Montgomery Clift, honey
