JIMMY STEWART IN A COWBOY PICTURE

JIMMY STEWART IN A COWBOY PICTURE

I came downstairs
The TV was on –
Jimmy Stewart in a cowboy picture

I don’t know about you
But it always seems wrong –
Jimmy Stewart in a cowboy picture

When his films come on
I want comedy or suspense, not
Jimmy Stewart in a cowboy picture

I understand he made loads
And I know Destry’s great, but
Jimmy Stewart in a cowboy picture…?!

When another came along
D’you think his agent said -
Jimmy, I’ve got you a cowboy picture…!

Now don’t get me wrong
He was great in each one, but…
Jimmy Stewart in a cowboy picture…?

The Glenn Miller Story!
There’s so much more than just
Jimmy Stewart in a cowboy picture

Even early on
After the Thin Man – That’s
A pretty good Jimmy Stewart picture

Anatomy of a Murder
Call Northside 777
Jimmy Stewart made some great thriller pictures

Vertigo, Rope, Rear Window
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Jimmy Stewart’s in four Hitchcock pictures

Harvey, The Philadelphia Story,
Mr Smith Goes To Washington
Jimmy Stewart is in these classic pictures

Airport 77
Flight of the Phoenix
Jimmy Stewart in aeroplane pictures

Don’t tell me you’ve not seen
It’s a Wonderful Life – That’s
Jimmy Stewart in an amazing picture

Goofy, edgy or dark,
That’s what I want to see, not
Jimmy Stewart in a cowboy picture

Broken Arrow, Naked Spur
The Man From Laramie
Jimmy Stewart’s in lots of cowboy pictures

Two Rode Together
Winchester 73
Two more Jimmy Stewart cowboy pictures

The Shootist, Cheyenne Autumn
Shenandoah, so many more –
One heck of a lot of cowboy pictures

How The West Was Won
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Jimmy’s in some great cowboy pictures

Now don’t get me wrong
I’m just disappointed to see
Jimmy Stewart in a cowboy picture

When the TV comes on
I’d watch Jimmy all day long, just
Preferably not in a cowboy picture
