Being Frank
Frank, the man, he had a plan,
he was the best and took a stand!
His conviction for desire,
he stepped up,and was on fire!
In his music, he would be...
the very best for all to see.
No one better than for Bing,
the all-time Crooner, he would swing...
Those Dorsey songs, they had a style,
romantic songs, with one big smile,
All in a dream...
and Frank would beam.
A true Romantic in his song,
he put it out there all night long.
Just sing that song Frank...
we'll sing along!
There's no one like him to this day,
he sang his song all for his pay.
And they would pay it, all his way!
People loved him for his style,
and he would swagger for a while,
until he went on stage...
then he became the singing rage!
He played every town and hall,
such a Crooner, he stood tall.
Baltimore, and then New York!
Chicago, Broadway, pop that cork!
Old Chicago was his town,
It was the place to be around!
I'll be around Frank...
you wait and see!
I'll sing like Frank
so I can be
the very best for all to see...
Just like Old Blue Eyes all a-glow...
how I enjoy his music so,
Yes, I enjoy...
just being Frank!
