Tongue Tied People
Oh the starlet gazed
In a touching scene
In the burning lights
Through the Vaseline
And our hero took
Took Her in his arms
Swept her off her feet
With his cosmic charm
Those were the days
Of tailored suits
Pints of pomade
Those were the days
I've seen you on TV
I know you're what I need
What a pretty frame
Draped in heavy shade
No tongue tied people
Just tongue tied people
Oh the stout auteur
Stood behind the lens
Barking orders
At frightened wrens
And the starlet screamed
As the handlers hurled
Endless skies of beaks
At the hopeful girl
Those were the days
Of tailored suits
Pints of pomade
Those were the days
I've seen you on TV
I know you're what I need
What a pretty frame
Trapped in visual aid
No tongue tied people
Just tongue tied people
No tongue tied people
Just tongue tied people
No tongue tied people
Just tongue tied people
In a touching scene
In the burning lights
Through the Vaseline
And our hero took
Took Her in his arms
Swept her off her feet
With his cosmic charm
Those were the days
Of tailored suits
Pints of pomade
Those were the days
I've seen you on TV
I know you're what I need
What a pretty frame
Draped in heavy shade
No tongue tied people
Just tongue tied people
Oh the stout auteur
Stood behind the lens
Barking orders
At frightened wrens
And the starlet screamed
As the handlers hurled
Endless skies of beaks
At the hopeful girl
Those were the days
Of tailored suits
Pints of pomade
Those were the days
I've seen you on TV
I know you're what I need
What a pretty frame
Trapped in visual aid
No tongue tied people
Just tongue tied people
No tongue tied people
Just tongue tied people
No tongue tied people
Just tongue tied people
