The Lyrics
Burton was Welsh; he knew
How to act fine.
But he was soppin' up the brew--
Sometimes dryin'
Out but sighin'.
You know, he loved brandy
And guzzled it down.
Know who's a big fan, me!
"Spy," "Beckett," "Wolff" are my faves, I've found.
Burton did well; O'Toole
Is also fine,
So fine.
Watch those two--
Welsh, Gael two—
Wench and screw
"Beckett" two-
some: a "wow!"
They're both up there
On the silver screen.
It's great, I vow—
Go see it!
Burton was Welsh; he flew
Before due time.
How to act fine.
But he was soppin' up the brew--
Sometimes dryin'
Out but sighin'.
You know, he loved brandy
And guzzled it down.
Know who's a big fan, me!
"Spy," "Beckett," "Wolff" are my faves, I've found.
Burton did well; O'Toole
Is also fine,
So fine.
Watch those two--
Welsh, Gael two—
Wench and screw
"Beckett" two-
some: a "wow!"
They're both up there
On the silver screen.
It's great, I vow—
Go see it!
Burton was Welsh; he flew
Before due time.
