The Right Profile lyrics

Say, where did I see this guy?

In Red River?

Or A Place in the Sun?

Maybe The Misfits?

Or From Here to Eternity?

Can 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!

New York, (New York) New York, 42nd Street

Hustlers rustle and pimp 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?"

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

Everybody say, "He sure look funny"

That's just 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 the light!"

Everybody say, "It's not funny"

That's Montgomery Clift, honey!

Shoot his right profile

Everybody say, "Is he all right?"

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

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?"

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

Everything's shakin', but I ain't got the chills

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

And everybody say, "Is he all right?"

Everybody say, "He sure look funny"

"I was trapped!" Montgomery Clift, honey!
