about

Kirk Douglas is one of the true Hollywood legends and a pretty good author as well. This is a tribute to him and his career.

lyrics

Thank You Mr Douglas by Darryl John © 2009

♫ There was a crooked man,
Who had a lust for life.
(As) the Villain Cactus Jack,
You found yourself in lots of strife.
You teamed up with the Duke,
In the War Wagon.
As Marzack the cop,
Chasing Eddie Macon.

Midge Kelly was a champion,
Back in forty-nine.
Teamed with brother Connie,
(They) wouldn’t bow to crime.
As Vincent Van Gogh,
You could have been his twin.
You’re Golden Globe’s Best Actor,
You really deserved to win.

Thank you Mr Douglas,
Thanks for Spartacus the slave.
Thank you for Jack Burns,
In lonely are the brave.
(I want to) thank you for Paris Pitman,
Detective Story’s Jim McLeod.
Dink Turner said I walk alone.
You really stood out from the crowd.

In Archie and Harry
You were a tough guy.
As Einer the Viking,
A falcon took your eye.
Nightingale in Posse,
Dax in Paths of Glory.
Doc’s OK Corral was a,
Great western story.

Man from Snowy River;
Was made down under.
Sci-fi flick Saturn 3,
Really made us wonder.
The Bad and the Beautiful
Tatum’s Ace in the Hole,
The brotherhood and the arrangement,
Uncle Joe; greedy soul.

Thank you Mr Douglas,
Thanks for Spartacus the slave.
Thank you for Jack Burns,
In lonely are the brave.
(I want to) thank you for Paris Pitman,
Detective Story’s Jim McLeod.
Dink Turner said I walk alone.
You really stood out from the crowd.

When the time came,
To put words on paper.
You really knew your stuff,
(You had a) lifetime at the caper
So, let’s face it now,
It was a stroke of luck.
Just to dance with the devil,
Took a lot of pluck.

The ragman’s son danced,
(The last) tango in Brooklyn.
The gift; the broken mirror,
Climbing the mountain to win.
Thank you Mr Douglas,
A great man and so proud.
A lifetime of entertaining,
You really stood out from the crowd.
You really stood out from the crowd.
You really stood out from the crowd.
You really stood out from the crowd.
Thank you Mr Douglas.♫
