lirik lagu david zippel, cy coleman - the buddy system
[buddy]
movies are shadows. they’re light, they’re dark, they’re faces ten feet high. close up of him, close up of her… cut to close up of husband watching close up of her watching close up of him! you’ll get it, you’ll see. sweetheart, n-body gets a hole in one their first time at bat. there’s people make a fortune writing movies and they don’t know how. i mean no offense, everybody and his brother writes books, but a screenplay–
[stine]
now that’s a ballgame of a different color, right?
[buddy]
you know when buddy fidler talks, you’re not listening to someone else
[intro: buddy]
i’ve got 12 nominations, a half dozen oscars
nine cars and three ex-wives to show
that in this business of refuse and nephews i know my stuff
[verse 1]
you’re a literary creator should’ve won a pulitzer prize
i would never cannibalize
or impair a single hair or phrase of your amazing opus
still a lot of scribblers soon discover what they write for the screen
isn’t always right for the screen
so i intervene
i zipped through your book and the characters jumped
to life on the page
now we’re at the stage where i bring them to life on the screen
don’t cling to the words to which you gave birth
remember how many a picture is worth
the odds are a thousand to one so get used to it stine
the book may be yours baby trust me the movie is mine
[bridge]
ya learn from von sternberg
ya grow from von stroheim
and so i’m the heir to their sk!ll
this town has more nuts than brazil
let’s face it, i’ve been through da mill
[verse 2]
authors unprepared to take a stab at this collaborative art
must suppress their egos and part
with the notion that in motion pictures words are carved in marble
donna darling get this on a pad and type it up for next week
i have an engagement to speak
at the writer’s guild
[breakdown]
you wouldn’t want to upset buddy
this is advice not a threat, buddy
let’s see how tough things can get, buddy
when things get rough it can get bl–dy
baby n-body says “no, buddy” so buddy, you better concede
let buddy be buddy, pure buddy, and he’ll be your buddy
the buddy you need
next!
