Point your suit at me and take my breath away   Better in black and white and chrome I have to say Now the big sleep   You play the hero and the villain every day   Equally charming in an unassuming way   See the girls weep   And now you've said goodbye a million hearts are sad   We were there with you Bob so were my mum and dad   Now the big sleep      Suits and swimming trunks and clergy you don't care   Every one of them is scary we beware   I like Cape Fear   You're out of place in some but you lift them from the mire   Better in the heat to watch your pecs perspire   Then there was Angel Face   And when you leave a scene a thousand footsteps fall   Can't wait to see you back and walking very tall   Before the big sleep      Now sleep ...      No-one around like you and Jimmy stuart anymore   I'd like to don my suit and even up the score   And try to take over   Painted ladies ain't so glamorous today   Please take me back to 1941 today   Before Pearl Harbour   You've had some trials and tribulations just the same   You have to laugh a lot to stay ahead of the game   Before the big sleep      Now sleep ...
