The Ballad Of Orson Welles Lyrics

this is the ballad of orson welles

the man who gave us war of the worlds

frightened the country
but ... got all the girls
oh well

then he gave us citizen kane

perhaps the greatest film ever made

that brought him riches
and that brought him fame

nobody was bigger than orson welles

Chorus
orson welles , orson welles,
orson welles , orson welles

i know what you’re thinking -
keep it to yourself

someday I’ll be bigger than orson welles

got himself a fine black suit

when he was 45 he wore a 52

he said pate foie gras
sure does take it’s toll on you
nobody was bigger than orson welles

orson welles , orson welles
orson welles , orson welle

i see you laughing
you can go to hell

someday i’ll be bigger than orson welles.

when i die And i’m at the pearly gates

i don’t give a damn
what saint peter has to say.

hey pete. where can i find - the free buffet?

i want to tie one on with orson welles

orson welles , orson welles
orson welles , orson welles

i know what you’re saying
only time will tell

someday i’ll be bigger than orson welles

keep on laughing
- i hear the dinner bell

someday i’ll be bigger than orson welles
