and the telephones blink
and the stocks get sold
and rest of us he keeps on hold
and he’s into making movies
and he’s now a corporation, right?

so i play at home with my wife and kids
and i wait to hear the movie biz
and i’ve got a little sailboat
and i’m into meditation, right

he flys off to california
i discuss him with my shrink
thats the story of the way we work
me and frankling shepard inc

reporter (spoken)
now when you do work together i’ve always been curious
which generally comes first the words or the music?

charlie (spoken)
generally, the contract

reporter (spoken)
well that sounds like making money is a bad thing for an artist
charlie (spoken)
money? (piano)
did i say money?

(singing)
charlie
no i like money a lot
hmmm
i mean its better than not
hmmm
but when its…
(pig sound) money
(pig sound) money
when you’re into (pig sound) money and you should be (piano)
(spoken)
listen frank does the money thing very well
but you know what, other people do it better
and frank does the music thing very well
and you know what, no one does it better
(singing)
still the telephone blinks
and the buzzers buzz
and i really don’t know what he does
but he makes a ton of money
and a lot of it for me, right

so i think okay
and i start a play
and he somehow knows
because right away its
(spoken)
brrrrring
hiya buddy wanna write a show?
got a great idea
we’ll own all the rights with a two week out
with a turnaround and a guarantee plus a gross percent of the billing clause
(singing)
there i am in california
talking deals and turning pink
back in business and i mean just that
back with franklin shepard inc

very sneaky how it happens
much more sneaky than you think
start with nothing but a song to sing
next you’re franklin shepard
(spoken)
wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
i’m getting in a little too deep here

you see the thing is frank and i are not that kind of close anymore
not like we used to be. and friendship is like a garden
you have to water it, you have to tend it, you have to care about it
or you lose it. and i miss it. and i want it back. look
(singing)
nothing permanent has happened
just a temporary kink
friendship’s something you don’t really lose
(spoken)
ladies and gentlemen don’t let me lose the greatest composer any lyricist ever had
phone him, write him, stop him on the street. you’ll recognize him. he’s the one going through his checkbook. and tell that man to get back to his piano
(singing)
very sneaky how it happened
every day you’re on the brink
first the prizes then the interviews

oh my god i think its happened
stop me quick before i sink
one more triumph and i can’t refuse
(spoken)
in case you didn’t notice this is my first time on tv…and my last
(singing)
no here’s the point whatever happens
then we’ll all go have a drink
that’s the guy i love, the fella whose inside
(spoken)
muter, mutter, mutter, mutter
quick jerome get the president there’s a crazy man on my tv screen
(singing)
inside
pssst psst brrrring
inside franklin shepard
(spoken)
just write him care of any bank, usa
(singing)
