Gene Hackman

from Yestermorrow by Jim Higgins

/

lyrics

If you found yourself in hot pursuit
You might call on Steve McQueen
But Steve never chased an elevated train down
So, I’d rather have Gene

Or to listen in on conversations
You might hire an entire surveillance team
But for this particular intrusion
I’d rather have Gene

Gene Hackman
Shines when they call action
And it’s always a better movie
When he’s on the screen

If you wound up in a crisis of conscience
On a U.S. nuclear submarine
Some might side with Denzel Washington
But I’d rather have Gene

Gene Hackman
Shines when they call action
And it’s always a better movie
When he’s on the screen
Gene Hackman
Keeps the film world turning
And he should have received the Oscar
For “Mississippi Burning”

Oh sure there are plenty of other actors I admire
I’ve spent enough cash to watch them on the silver screen
So much so that I’d put ‘em all on my softball team
But you know who I’d have batting cleanup
Yeah, that would be
Yeah, that would be
Gene…

If you wound up on a ship in peril
On the unforgiving sea
Leonardo couldn’t lead me to safety
So I’d rather have Gene

Gene Hackman
Shines when they call action
And it’s always a better movie
When he’s on the screen
Gene Hackman
Shines when they call action
And it’s always a better movie
When he’s on the screen
