So long, Mr. Sinatra - I know you feel good
You did it your way - For as long as you could
There is many a story - But the truth went with you
I can see that big smile - And hear your voice coming through!!
Your honors keep growing - Though they’ve
laid you to rest
The Chairman of the Board - Was the best of the best
With no formal training - You took God’s gift to you
And with the confidence of a warrior - It grew and it grew!!
You brought depth and weight - That’s what
they say
An emotional infusion - Served up like a bouquet
Of course it was your nerve - And a will oh so strong
It might not have been right - But, it damn sure wasn’t wrong!!
When the great ones move on - Their memories linger
long
The specials keep running - Song after song
You had a great fire - It could be seen in your eyes
But that doesn’t mean - There weren’t any lies!!
But who’ll ever know - If you were the mastermind
Of evening a score - That wasn’t too kind
Or were you in the Mafia - And do we really care
We couldn’t ask you personally - We just wouldn’t dare!!
But you’ve surely given back - And made the
world a better place
You’ve helped millions of people - That should earn you some
grace
And who are we to judge - Though it seems to be a pastime
To mind other people’s business - Fortunately, it’s
not a crime!!
So Mr. Sinatra - My hat’s tipped to you
You’ve got millions of fans - Who bid you adieu
And oh Frank, by the way - If you see Sammy or Dean
Tell them they’re missed too - Up on the big screen!
