Well its been a few rough years
Since you found your way to heaven
We miss your mug down here
You crazy handsome devil
And Amy’s doin’ allright
She’s a good one that’s for sure
Everybody always laughs when they think of you
You know you left us wanting more
We always think of the days
When the Yankee’s ruled the world
You called it like you saw it man
Then you found that pretty girl
You straightened up man
You were flyin’ right
Headed for the American dream
With that crazy sexy wife
Remember goofin’ at the toy store
Like a couple of crazy kids
Remember Sgt. Slaughter?
Yeah, you can gloat a little bit
You were smarter than the rest of us
The funny man, the teaser
Said you were sick of it all
But you wore your heart out on your sleeve sir
Now Alex is shakin’ her doggy behind
Up in heaven with you
And I’ll just bet your crackin’ up
Man its hard to let go of you
But were doin’ allright
Allright down here in the NYC
All right Douglas remember this
You are alive in me
With very huge gratitude to the heroic PAUL WEIN whose fun filled and heartbreaking memories of his best friend Douglas J. Farnum filled this song with the details it needed to be real.
