Peter Bogdanovich Can't Stop Talking About Orson Welles

(Moes Haven)
Peter Bogdanovich
Why you gotta spend your whole life talking 'bout Orson Welles?
Don't you think your time would be better served talking 'bout something else?

I said Hell's Bells
Hell's Bells
He done went mentioned Orson Welles
Nine short minutes after he mentioned him last
Good old Pete
I said good old Pete
He had the pleasure to meet
Orson a couple times back in the past

Peter Bogdanovich
Why you gotta spend your whole life talking 'bout Orson Welles?
Don't you think your time would be better served talking 'bout something else?

Pete, The Last Picture Show is your Citizen Kane
One good film is all you need for a legacy to remain
But as much as you'd like to think
That Orson's just like you
Take a seat and have a drink
Because you know it's just not true

Peter Bogdanovich
Why you gotta spend your whole life talking 'bout Orson Welles?
Don't you think your time would be better served talking 'bout something else?

Think about it, Pete
Think about it for a while
Think about Touch of Evil
Think about The Trial
Now try to compare them to a movie like Texasville
Come on, Pete
You've gotta set your sites lower
How about Cecille B. DeMille?

Peter Bogdanovich
Why you gotta spend your whole life talking 'bout Orson Welles?
Don't you think your time would be better served talking 'bout something else?
