The Right Profile

Say, where did I see this guy?

(Say, say, say, say)

In "Red River" or "A Place In The Sun"

Maybe "The Misfits", "From Here To Eternity"?

Everybody say, "Is he all right?"

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

And everybody say, "Sure he looks funny"

That's Montgomery Clift, honey

(New York, 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, his clothes are torn

And everybody say, "Is he all right?"

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

Everybody say, "Sure looks 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?"

Everybody say, "Shine a light"

Everybody say, "It's not funny"

That Montgomery Clift, honey

Shoot his right profile

And everybody say, "Is he all right?"

Everybody say, "What's he like?"

Everybody say, "He sure looks funny"

That's Montgomery Clift, honey

Nembutal, 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 looks funny"

That's Montgomery Clift, honey

He said, "Go out, 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

Ahh, buh buh, ahh!

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

Everybody say, "Is he all right?"

Everybody say, "He sure looks funny"

I was trapped, Montgomery Clift, honey
