What Would Frank Do
--words and music by Michael Stanley/Bob Pelander

from "American Road", 2005, LineLevel Music



Tonight the joint is fully wound
 with budget desperadoes
B-movie wannabees with nothing
 left but time and
The air is thick with martini-fueled
 bravado and
Long-legged women with heartbreak
 on their minds...

So you slide up to the bar
 when here comes a looker
A beauty with a broken smile
 who just might be the one...
The kind of girl that's seen it all
 and lived to talk about it
And there in lies the problem 
 About how to get this done...

(chorus)
	Everybody wants to walk the cool way
	Everybody wants to make the perfect move
	And at times like this we all should consider
	What would Frank do...
	What would Frank do...

She's slowly nursing on a Seven & Seven 
Nonchalantly lets you light her cigarette
And the way that she's sitting 
You can almost see to heaven
You gotta get this right or that might be all you get...

(chorus 2)
	Everybody wants to walk the cool way
	Everybody wants to make the perfect move
	And at times like these we all should consider
	What would Frank do...
	What would Frank do...
	When it's coming down to closing time
	What would Frank do...

(bridge)
	And you saw him at the garden,
	Know the words to all the tunes
	Saw every single movie six or seven times
	But you we're all mere mortals 
	He left howling at the moon
	In the wee, wee hours of the night...

(chorus)
	Everybody wants to walk the cool way
	Everybody wants to make the perfect move
	And at times like this we all should consider
	What would Frank do...
	What would Frank do...
	When it's coming down to closing time
	What would Frank do...

	to fade
