Song:The Picture Show
GA young man from a small town
With a veCry large imaginatGion
Lay alCone in his room with his raGdio on
Looking for another staDtion
When the staGtic from the mouthpiece
Gave Cway to the sound beGlow
James CDean went out to GHollywood
And put his picDture in a Picture GShow.
James CDean went out to GHollywood
And put his picDture in a Picture GShow.
Chorus:
And It's GOh Daddy get off of your knees
MaCmma why'd you have to Ggo
Your darlCing Jim is Gout on a limb
I put my picDture in a Picture GShow
Whoa Ho! Put my picDture in a Picture GShow
HamGburgers Cheeseburgers
WiClbur and Orville GWright
CJohn Garfield in the afterGnoon
Montgomery Clift at Dnight
When the Gstatic hit the mouthpiece
Gave Cway to the sound beGlow
James CDean went out to GHollywood
And put his picDture in a Picture GShow.
Chorus:
And It's GOh Daddy get off of your knees
MaCmma why'd you have to Ggo
Your darlCing Jim is Gout on a limb
I put my picDture in a Picture GShow
Whoa Ho! Put my picDture in a Picture GShow

A GMocca man in a wigwam sitCting on a ReserGvation.
With a big Cblack hole in the Gbelly of his soul
Waiting on an explanDation
While the Gwhite man sits on his fat can
And takes picCtures of the NaGvajo
Every Ctime he clicks his KoGdak pics
He Dsteals a little bit of sGoul.
Every Ctime he clicks his KoGdak pics
He Dsteals a little bit of Gsoul.
Chorus:
And It's GOh Daddy get off of your knees
MaCmma why'd you have to Ggo
Your darlCing Jim is Gout on a limb
I put my picDture in a Picture GShow
Whoa Ho! Put my picDture in a Picture GShow
Outro:
Yie Hi! Put my picDture in a Picture GShow
Let's go!
