歌曲歌詞
Anyone can get lucky in america
I remind myself of this everyday
The first nickel i ever earned
I keep in a little silver frame
It's how i gave my company a name
Reminding me how very far i came
I was a
Maker of the silhouettes
Who made a small improvement-
A little book of silhouettes
That simulated movement
Well people seemed to like it
Soon the money's going clink
And i'm buffalo nickel photoplay inc
I go from
Silhouettes to photos
I invent a small projector
And soon i'm making movies
And they're calling me director
An industry is dawning
And i'm standing on the brink-
Mister buffalo nickel photoplay inc
Life shines from the shadow screen
Comical yet infinitely true
People love to see what people do
Here where everyone is someone new
Such tales from the shadow screen
Little men who never get the breaks
Fighting on till something fin'lly takes-
What a lovely movie it all makes
Well business is booming
I'm happy to say
I just made a contract
To film for pathe
A series of chapters
That end in suspense-
Each week see what's next
For another five cents
And i am
Waking every morning
Filled with such anticipation
I frame the sea
I frame the sky
And this is my vacation
I shake your hand
I kiss your hand
I buy you all a drink
And maybe if you chance to see
A movie that was made by me
Remember when the name goes by
That's ash-k-e-n-a-z-y
The baron now american
Who happened once to think
Of silhouette and flicker book
And movies as they're meant to look
And buffalo nickel photoplay inc
