about

The first voice you'll hear is that of Masie Dee, a prosperous actress who went to university with us. I seem to recall that she recorded her lines for this at a wedding.

lyrics

I’ve made 27 movies
Each one of them bad
But these movies are the only
Parts I’ve ever had

I’ve been a racer car driver
A space rocket flier
A retired boxer
In one I was a rocker
A pitcher for the Red Socks
Who’d lived a life of hard knocks
An aging quaterback
Whose life has gone off track

A TV presenter
A United States Senator
I’ve played a movie actor
And a farmer with a tractor
The hero in a cape
Who never shows up late
A medical practitioner
Who practiced hare krishna

A private detective
Who lost his perspective
The Sheikh of Arabee
You couldn't tell it was me
They had me in blackface
Escaping the rat-race
I went to the moon
Sing some alien tunes


I was the cowboy king
Who lassooed everything
I faced an underwater menace
with vampires in venice
An aspiring athlete
Who lost his feet
I've been Hitler and Moses
And that guy who smelt roses

I've been Sherlock Holmes
And a captain of gnomes
A talking bear:
what was going on there?
The world was enamoured
By my face of Muhammad
A biopic of Mark Twain
And then Mark Twain again!

I’ve made 27 movies
And it kinda makes me sad
That these movies are the only
Parts I’ve ever had
