Damn Yankees

 

You've gotta have heart

What Lola wants Lola gets

In the good old days

Shoeless Joe from Hannibal

Little brains, little talent

 

A Damsel in Distress

 

I can't be bothered

Jolly Tar and the Milkmaid

Things are looking up

Nice work if you can get it

Pay some attention to me


You won't regret it

Loving one who loves you and

Then taking that vow

Nice work if you can get it

You can get it if you try

 

Dance Fools Dance

 

Jake the bootlegger

Gangland killing of seven

Take her for a ride

A hard-drinking weakling who's

Spoiled by his wealthy father

 

The Dance of Life

 

You wouldn't kid me

I would if I could, sister

I would if I could

The burlesque team who split up

He goes into the Follies


Dancing Lady


Let it go faster

That's the rhythm of the day

Rhythm is master

Come with me and leave the past

Life today is wild and fast


Dancing on a Dime


Mighty fine music

The rattle of the milkman

Laughing of children

The singing of the sparrow

The perking of the coffee

Nights of love letters

From seducer's diary

It's better this way

The baron wipes off the gun

Holds it in his hand and dies


Dark Alibi


Even gravedigger

Know some people for whom he

Would do work with joy

One small wind can raise much dust

Tooth missing, but gap remain

Danny, no one can

Live without getting involved

I can try, can't I?

We've got this guy on our tail

We don't know what he looks like

 

The Dark Past

 

Disintegration

Terrified psycho

Holding a psychiatrist

Hostage in his country home


Darling Lili


Girl in No Man's Land

Whistling away in the dark

We Hebrews are of

The desert.  Our emotions

Are fierce like the wind

The king himself forgets he

Is a servant of the Lord


A Day at the Races


One dollar and you

Remember me all your life

Most nauseating

Are you a man or a mouse?

Put a piece of cheese down there


Day for Night


A film about film

Films move like trains in the night

Cosmopolitan

I would not tell all the truth

I would tell only true things


A Day in the Country


Disappointed love

Followed by a ruined life

A prancing satyr

Pursues the not unwilling

A nightingale calls its mate


The Day the Earth Caught Fire


Many of you are

Blaming the combined effects

Of nuclear tests

For this disturbance of Earth

The majority deny


The Day the Earth Stood Still


The penalty for

Provoking their action is

Terrible to risk

In matters of aggression

They act automatically


The Day the World Ended


There's something out there

And it tries to talk to me

Radioactive

I feel so sorry for him

There may be more worse than him


The Days of Wine and Roses


I want to come home

Wouldn't it be wonderful

If we could go back

Just erase everything

In between--start all over


Laugh and run away

Through meadowland toward a

Door marked nevermore

The lonely night discloses

A breeze filled with memories


Dead End


The Bowery Boys

Babyface come back to hide

Why n't ya slap her?

Well, what do you think of that?

The reward will help Tommy


Dead Men Tell


Desire for ocean

Adventure is much like hives

Gives itch to many

Have come to return young sea

Hawk to nest of college books


He comes to escort

Us to the other world

You hear the tap of

His wooden leg and the scratch 

Of his iron hook on the door


Death of a Salesman


Subjective memoir

In his imagination

Salesmanship is fraud

Therefore he has sold himself

I'm worth more dead than alive

They're raping the whole landscape

White-water rapids

Men settle for too little

Opening to a dark place

My grandmother too

Us out to the desert to

Look for wildflowers

Her favorites were the ones

That grow in the hard places


The Desert Song


Best be riding low

It means the Riffs are abroad

The sound comes to warn

If you're the Red Shadow's foe

The Riffs will strike with a blow

 

Design for Living

 

Mother of the arts

We have our own decencies

And our own ethics

Our lives are a diffferent

Style from yours.  Wave us goodbye.

 

Designing Woman

 

Free for all slugfest

Turned into impromptu dance

She's done it again!

Marble hearth Modigliani

There will be some changes made


Desire


Awake in a dream

She slips the stolen necklace

In his coat pocket

Then she has to get it back

Flirting with him on the road

 

Desire under the Elms

His rightful inheritance

That was his mother's

His father's new wife smothers

Put their lives into the hands

Of shameful men whose

Ties are with the underworld

Shall I take the easy way?

Reason rather than a gun

In a corrupt town

If I had carried a gun

One of us might have got hurt

Black silk tights and cloak

Metal wig, walled in makeup

Never looking at

The person to whom she talks

With atomizing pistol


The Devil Horse


After Indians

Attack a wagon train, the

Only survivors

Become Indian haters

Who can recognize their smell


Devil in the Flesh


A sand castle which

The tide will carry away

As pure as a tear

A sordid and suggestive

Atmosphere pervades the film


The Devil Is a Woman


If it isn't pain

Then honey it isn't love

The older man lets

The younger win the duel

Later she changes her mind

 

The Devil's Brigade

 

Individual

Testings of mettle and a

Free-for-all bar brawl

The Yanks and Canadians

Find warm mutual respect


Devil's Canyon


You know I've lived through

Eight prisons and just about

The same amount of

Wives by blending into the

Background when the noise gets loud


The Devil's Disciple


On the screen, it seems

People do things for reasons

Off the screen, they don't

Penny-in-the-slot heroes

Are automatic and dull

Money can buy a

Way to the coast and a boat

To reach the mainland

The guards are changed every

Day but they all can be bribed

Cooking up a show

Acapulco mink lament

For a nickel's worth of jive

White slaver racket

Come up and see me sometime

Knew you could be had

Goodness had nothing to do

A stiletto from Rio

A woman don't wear nothing

I look good both ways

All's fair in love and business

I'm wearing black underwear


Diner


Where could we do it?

Were her parents going out

So we could do it?

When you're married, it's crazy

You can have it whenever


Dinner at Eight


Machinery is

Going to take the place of

All the professions

Oh my dear that's something you

Need never worry about


Dinosaurus!


Frozen solid at

The bottom of the channel

Perfectly preserved

Dynamite must have blasted

Through the rock that entombed them


Dirty Gertie from Harlem USA


Paradise Hotel

A hot time in the old town

She's a Jezebel

Hard to get and hard to hold

Hager reads the crystal ball


Dirty Harry

 

Being this is a

Forty-four magnum, the most

Powerful handgun

In the world--ask yourself one

Question--Do I feel lucky?


I'll read you your rights

Whenever I am ready

Forty-four magnums

Give the force back to police

Go ahead, punk, make my day!


Dishonored


X-27

Not afraid of life or death

Puts on her lipstick

Waiting for the firing squad

Transcribes musical ciphers


Diva


The plot is so smart

That it outsmarts itself and

The introduction

Of a fairy godfather

Does seem a bit of a cheat

Make just one someone happy

One smile that cheers you

One face lights when it nears you

And you will be happy too

All cards should repose

On table when personal

Sometimes most essential clue

Very difficult to find

Three blind mice over a cliff

I tink they were on

Their way to a funeral

Underneath the mango tree

On the sentimental side

What only a gypsy knows

Sapping our vital fluids

Major Bat Guano

Slim Pickens on an H-bomb

Frying chickens in their coops


Hello, Dimitri

One of our base commanders

He had sort of

He went funny in the head

And he did a silly thing


Dog Day Afternoon


He didn't do it

It's not him to rob a bank

He might of done it

His body functions might of

But not he himself

 

Dog Star Man

 

A woodsman climbs up

A hill and chops down a tree

With telescope

And microscopic footage

Of sun, moon, stars, heart, lungs, blood


Dogs Is Dogs


Mama, Wheezer's got

Pete in bed with him again

I'll fix him for that

You gotta turn 'em over

Shuffle 'em around a bit


La Dolce Vita

 

Empty piazzas

Dissects milieu of the rich

Clarity at dawn

Taking the temperature of

An ailing society

 

There will be total

Depravity.  How squalid

Leave, paparazzi!

You are the first woman on

The first day of creation


The Dolly Sisters


If you should ask me

How deeply I adore you

Words I choose refuse

I can't begin to tell you

Make believe I've said them all

 

The Donovan Affair

 

While the lights are out

Donovan is stabbed to death

The butler did it

Because the gambler had been

Fooling around with the maid


Donovan's Brain


Stealing a man's brain

The good of humanity

Causing him to limp

Unnatural, unholy

I did many foolish things


Ruthless millionaire

Exets will on scientist

There's no more Cory

Cuts children out of his will

Struck dead by the lightning rod


Don't Look Now


If the world is round

Why is a frozen pond flat?

Nothing is what it seems

The dwarf draws out a long knife

What a silly way to die


Don't Throw That Knife


I've got an uncle

Who can make things disappear

He's a magician?

He's a kleptomaniac

A prestidigitator


Dopey Dicks


Evil scientist

Needs a brain small enough to

Put in a robot

Strange men are following me

They'd be strange if they didn't


Double Endemnity


Didn't get money.

Murder like honeysuckle.

Didn't get woman.

I've been taking a sunbath.

I hope no pigeons were out.

Demolished by dynamite

Concealed in a loaf of bread

Let no one stand in his way

His father denies him praise


Dracula


I bid you welcome

Not human lives but small ones

The strangest passion

Leaving tomorrow evening


I never drink wine

Listen.  Children of the night

What music they make

To die, to be really dead

Yes, that might be glorious


Driving Miss Daisy


Daisy, she's all there

Too much there is the problem

That's one sorry sight

It only took me six days

Time it took to make the world


I used to wrestle

Hogs during killing time--ain't

No hog got away

I do enjoy Christmas there

You're the only Christian there

His head blown half off

I saw them all streaked with paint

I got down behind a log


Duck Soup


Rufus T. Firefly

Freedonia's dictator

You think you're bad off

Wait 'til I get through with it

If that isn't an insult


Rufus T. Firefly's

Anarchic absurdity

Deflating put downs

I was with him to the end

No wonder he passed away


Duel in the Sun


Innocent half-breed

Raffish cattle baron's son

Find lust in the dust

Refuses to follow through

Die in a bloody embrace


The laughing outlaw

And the half-breed girl from down

Along the border

The Paris of the Pecos

Guess I'm just trash like my Ma


Dumbo


I blow the whistle

The trumpets are trumpeting

The drums are drumming

Then comes the climax.  Maybe

It comes to me in a dream.

Sitting on a crate that's marked

HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE DANGER

Fulfill fatal destinies

Chump enough to think cops would

Believe when I told

Them I was only trying

To help a guy who was shot


The Dybbuk


There are no demons

But souls of people whose light

Went out too early

And there are souls that enter

The body of one they knew

As phenomena of light

Unusual views

Selective isolation

Elementarization

The black cat from Watts

And kung fu cat from Hong Kong

Are chained together

Nobody can handle them

Street fighting against kung fu
