Just a Talkie Show
You said you'd take me to the stars
Show me the Seven Wonders of the World
There were promises of riches, pure as gold
Just like Midas, you had that touch...But

I loved you like Helen loved Paris...But
All I ever got was a talkie show!
Alas it was a charade, a dupe
A story from a picture book

Your Midas touch was just 'Fools Gold'

All I ever get is a TV picture show!
