The Lyrics
His name was Edward G Robinson
That old movie star we loved to hate (loved to hate))
The actor, Edward G Robinson
Snappy snarls, like "N'yaa" and "See" were great
Great, great, great.
Old comics always mimicked him,
More than anyone else
In "Key Largo" with Bogie and Bacall
In the thirties, ":Little Caesar".. old time gangster flick
Great expressions and a classic sour stare
Oh, here's to Edward G Robinson
The tough guy gruffness was his trademark way
Only one Edward G Robinson
No more calls, he gets the prize of play,
Hey, hey, hey...Hey, hey, hey
In "Double Indemnity"...and in, "McKenna's Gold"
"Cincinnati Kid" and "Ten Commandments"
"Soylent Green".."The Sea Wolf"
"Robin and the 7 Hoods"
"Nightmare"...and "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes"
An icon, Edward G Robinson
Short in stature, giant on the screen, (nicely mean..)
God bless you, Edward G Robinson
Heaven is the stage for you today,
Hey, hey, hey...Hey, hey, hey
(And he's the boss around here, "See!..n'yeah!..see!")
That old movie star we loved to hate (loved to hate))
The actor, Edward G Robinson
Snappy snarls, like "N'yaa" and "See" were great
Great, great, great.

Great expressions and a classic sour stare
Oh, here's to Edward G Robinson
The tough guy gruffness was his trademark way

Hey, hey, hey...Hey, hey, hey

great tribute...one of my favorite actors
"Look at me; I'm Edward G
Second fiddle to Bo-gie"
Loved this, AFW...5s
I sang
Double Indemnity was his best - great though odd-looking tough guy (although I remember he also played a sad sap in The Woman In The Window) - how did you choose this OS for him AFW? - j/k - great write - 555
Great idea, well done! As Billy Crystal once mentioned, Ed G's being cast in "The Ten Commandments" has to be one of the biggest blunders in casting history but, you couldn't help but love him in it anyway. "Where's your messiah now, Moses?" "Nyeah". 555
Thanks to all for votes and comments
I disagree with Rick C I think it was a brilliant casting move. The scenes with Ed G as Pharoh are the only ones I remember
Here's an interesting tidbit: Chief Wiggum from "The Simpsons" was based on Edward G. Robinson
Late comment, better than none. Good work!
