Lyrics:

I'll have a warm bath
I'll have a bottle of wine
I'll put myself to bed
And I'll feel just fine
But don't talk to me about Gene Hackman    5

He's got an evil grin
He's got curly hair
And every time he smiles
It means trouble somewhere
So don't talk to me about Gene Hackman    10

He's in every film
Sometimes wearing a towel
And if it isn't him
You get Andie MacDowell
So don't talk to me about Gene Hackman    15

Don't talk to me at all
Don't say hello
You could be Gene himself for all I know

In Unforgiven
He was totally mean                       20
But when he got his
I really felt for Gene
But don't talk to me about Gene Hackman

I'll have a cold shower
I'll have a bottle of pop                 25
I'll get a dog named Laszlo
From a Laszlo shop
But don't talk to me about
Gee ee en ee aitch ay see kay em ay en
Gene Hackman                              30


I'll have a cold shower         24a
I'll have a bottle of juice     25a
And when I'll go outside        26a
I'll have a good excuse         27a
