this is the ballad of orson welles

the man who gave us war of the worlds

frightened the country 
but ... got all the girls

oh well 



then he gave us citizen kane 


perhaps the greatest film ever made 

that brought him riches 
and that brought him fame

nobody was bigger than orson welles 




Chorus
orson welles , orson welles, 
orson welles , orson welles




i know what you're thinking - 
keep it to yourself 

someday I'll be bigger than orson welles




got himself a fine black suit 

when he was 45 he wore a 52 


he said pate foie gras 
sure does take it's toll on you
nobody was bigger than orson welles




orson welles , orson welles 
orson welles , orson welle



i see you laughing 
you can go to hell 


someday i'll be bigger than orson welles.



when i die And i'm at the pearly gates 


i don't give a damn 
what saint peter has to say.

hey pete. where can i find - the free buffet?

i want to tie one on with orson welles 




orson welles , orson welles 
orson welles , orson welles


i know what you're saying 
only time will tell


someday i'll be bigger than orson welles



keep on laughing 
- i hear the dinner bell


someday i'll be bigger than orson welles
