In a hall
On a wall
In a house
In reseda
There's a poster held up
By two nails and a pin
It's my daddy the actor
'Bout to die with his boots on
He's the man standing up there
Beside errol flynn
He got third or fourth billing
At the end of each picture
But that don't mean much
He would say with a grin
But he'd hold my hand tight
As he pointed his name out
Only four or five names
Down below errol flynn
Now fame it is fleeting
And stars they keep falling
And staying right up there
That's the business of art
And luck kisses some
And she passes by others
Disappointment
And bourbon
Are hard on the heart
Now the women and beers
And the years with old errol
They took their toll
And took me from his side
He kissed me goodbye at the old union station
That's the last time
I saw
The last time I cried
Now I'm sitting alone
In a house in reseda
Watchin' the late show
As the moonlight shines in
And up on the screen
Well here comes my daddy
It's a sad funny feeling
Now I'm older than him
So you daddies and daughters
You sons and you mothers
Remember life's over
Before it begins
So love one another
And stand close together
As close
As my dad did
To old errol flynn
