Hoboken Frankie
For the past several years, you have not been around.
However, we can still hear your immortal sound.
Your humble beginnings were in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Show business began by singing with Tommy Dorsey.
Right to your duet “Something Stupid” with daughter Nancy,
you had been striking nearly everyone’s fancy.
For decades, your fans heard your velvety-smooth croon.
You made those forties bobbysoxers swoon.
Affectionately known as “Ol’’ Blue Eyes”,
your great success is something nobody denies.
You are now the brightest star shining in heaven today.
Frank, you can tell everyone “I did it my way”.
