The Pictures On the Wall At Harry's - Parry Gripp

All right, this is a real story

May not be true

Here we go

There’s a place up town

Where the booths are big and round

The bars real long

And the drinks, well, they’re real strong

But the best part of it all

Are the pictures on the wall

Talkin' 'bout the pictures on the wall

At Harry’s

They got Cassius Clay

And Doris Day

Lauren Bacall, Monty Hall

Yeah, all the greats

Yeah, you know you’ve got it made

When your likeness is displayed

In a picture on the wall

At Harry’s

It’s so dark inside

There ain’t no light of day

They got no windows

So the smiles will never fade

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I just had to got to get my picture on that wall!

I planned my attack

I kept going back

Brunch, lunch, dinner, dessert

And even that midnight snack

But no matter how I tried

My request was denied

To get my picture on the wall

At Harry’s

Uh

I guess my bank account, well, got kinda low

The maitre-d came up to me and said, «Friend, you gotta go»

No, no, no, no

Oh no!

Uh

What am I gonna do?

I wasn’t doin' well

I was livin' in hell

But then I peeked inside that door one day

And I learned that you never can tell

'Cause there’s a sign over in the cashier

«This guy ain’t welcome here»

Next to my picture on the wall

They put my picture on the wall

Got my picture on the wall

At Harry’s, yeah

At Harry’s, yeah

At Harry’s, yeah

At Harry’s

Right next to Sheriff Jim Thompson

Tennessee Ernie Ford!

Ronald Reagan!

Oprah Winfrey!

Aw, man!

Yeah!

Bam bam ba bam ba bam bam
