Say, where did I see this guy? In 'Red River'? Or a 'Place In The Sun'? Maybe the 'Misfits'? Or 'From Here to Eternity'? Everybody say, "Is he all right?" And everybody say, "What's he like?" And everybody say, "He sure look funny." That's Montgomery Clift, honey! New York, New York, New York, 42nd Street Hustlers rustle and pimps pimp the beat Monty Clift is recognized at dawn He ain't got no shoes and his clothes are torn Everybody say, "Is he all right?" And everybody say, "What's he like?" Everybody say, "He sure look funny." That's Montgomery Clift, honey! I see a car smashed at night Cut the applause and dim the light Monty's face is broken on a wheel Is he alive? Can he still feel? And everybody say, "Is he all right?"
Everybody say, "Shine a light" Everybody say, "It's not funny" That's Montgomery Clift, honey! Shoot his right profile And everybody say, "Is he all right?" Everybody say, "What's he like?" Everybody say, "He sure look funny." That's Montgomery Clift, honey! Nembutol numbs it all But I prefer alcohol And everybody say, "What's he like?" And everybody say, "Is he all right?" And everybody say, "He sure look funny" That's Montgomery Clift, honey! He said go out and get me my old movie stills Go out and get me another roll of pills There I go again shaking, but I ain't got the chills And everybody say, "What's he like?" And everybody say, "Is he all right?" And everybody say, "He sure look funny" That's Montgomery Clift, honey!
