That Frank

I said, Frank, this picture is a watershed

I said, Frank, one day, who'll run my studio?

I said, Frank, will you listen to that response?

I said, Frank really knows what the public wants

I said, Frank, this picture is a watershed

Know what I'm having?
What?
Not much fun

Party!

That Frank!
The guy is too much

Hey, the party's outside

That Frank!

Did you like the picture?

A platinum touch

How 'bout more champagne?

He has taste
He has talent

Is he the best?

Plus a fine head for business

The man is blessed

That Frank!

I wrote the screenplay for Frank's movie

Your secret's safe with me

That Frank

So, what do you do?
(He's full of advise)
I drink
(That Frank)
No, what do you really do?
(And, God, is he nice?)
I really drink

What a friend
What a host
And his work is great
Has a wife who is gorgeous
A son who's straight
He's the type you can easily learn to hate
That Frank

Who says, lonely at the top?
I say, let it never stop!
It's our time coming through
All our dreams coming true
Working hard
Getting rich
Being happy, there's a switch

(That smile!)
Don't you miss writing music?
(He's hot but he's cool)
That was the old Frank Shepard
(What style!)
This guy's the American dream
And what a great pool

If you had no idea what charisma meant
And you just can't be jealous he's such a gent
He's the kind of a man that you can't resent
That Frank

Franklin

Oh, Meg
This is Mary Flynn
Mary is my deepest, closest, best friend in all the world

Congratulations on the movie
Your performance will stay with me for a long time

We go way back

But seldom forward

I said, Frank, you're coming down to Mexico

I think Frank is moving back to Paramount

These are the movers
These are the shapers
These are the people who fill the papers
(Mexico!)
These are the friends of Frank
(Moving back to Paramount)
Each one a perfect blank
When you see a movie that successful
What can you say?
Congratulations!

Thank you!

These are the movers
These are the shapers
These are the people who give you vapors

Twenty years ago who'd've guessed?
Who'd've guessed
We'd be standing here?
God we would've been so impressed
Now we're here with the most-
(Mexico)
Brilliant minds on the coast
(Moving back to Paramount)
And notice who is their host

Mexico!
Beautiful, Frank
Acapulco, Mexico
Beautiful, Frank
When you've made a movie that successful
Where do you go?

Uh, Paramount!
Here's to us

Who's like us?

Damn few

Now, I heard a reliable rumor
That you're selling the Malibu house?

You don't want it
The place doesn't even have a pool

No pool?
Trash it!

Let's have some coffee, Mary

(Poor Frank)
I never drink coffee
(He handled that well)
Caffeine isn't good for you
(That Frank)
Look, I'm aware this was just a formula movie
(He's loyal as hell)
But my next picture?
You wait

I gave up waiting

He's polite and considerate
Rain or shine

It began when I tasted communion wine

That Frank

Who says, mustn't go too far?
I say, look a where we are!
It's our time coming through
I say, good
Me and you
I say, roll
I say, ride
I say, hey, there's food outside!

That Frank!
(Frank's movie was fun)
You'd think he'd relax
(Frank knows what the public wants)
Not Frank
(And Frank made a star)
He's laying new tracks
(I love a movie movie)
If you had no idea what charisma meant
And you just can't be jealous
He's such a gent
He's the kind of a man could be President
That Frank!
That Frank!
That Frank!
That Frank!
