That Frank Lyrics by Colin Donnell

Merrily We Roll Along: 2012 New York Cast Recording

2012

[THE BLOB]
I said, Frank this picture is a watershed
I said, Frank one day you'll run my studio
I said, Frank will you listen to that response?
I said Frank really knows what the public wants
I said Frank this picture is a watershed

[MARY]
Know what I'm having?

[GUEST]
What?

[MARY]
Not much fun

[THE BLOB]
That Frank
The guy is too much

[FRANK]
Hey the party's inside

[THE BLOB]
That Frank

[FRANK]
You like the picture?

[GUEST]
The platinum touch

[FRANK]
How 'bout more champagne?

[THE BLOB]
He has taste he has talent
Is he the best
Plus a fine head for business
The man is blessed
That Frank

[GUEST]
I wrote the screenplay for Frank's movie

[MARY]
Your secret's safe with me

[THE BLOB]
That Frank

[GUEST]
So what do you do?

[THE BLOB]
He's full of that vice

[MARY]
I drink

[THE BLOB]
That Frank

[GUEST]
No, what do you really do?

[THE BLOB]
And god is he nice

[MARY]
I really drink

[THE BLOB]
What a friend
What a host
And his work is great
A wife who is gorgeous
A son who's straight
He's the type you could easily learn to hate
That Frank

[FRANK]
Who says "Lonely at the top"?
I say let it never stop
It's our time coming through
All our dreams coming true
Working hard getting rich
Being happy there's a switch

[THE BLOB]
That smile

[GUEST]
Don't you miss writing music?

[THE BLOB]
He's hot but he's cool

[FRANK]
One day I'll get back to it

[THE BLOB]
What style

[MARY]
Where have we heard that one before?

[THE BLOB]
And what a great pool

If you had no idea what charisma meant
And you just can't be jealous he's such a gent
He's the kind of a man that you can't resent
That Frank

[MEG]
Franklin

[FRANK]
Oh, Meg this is Mary Flynn

[MARY]
Congratulations on the movie. Your performance...will stay with me for a long time

[FRANK]
Mary is one of my closest friends. We go way back

[MARY]
But seldom forward

[MEG]
Well actually Franklin gave me that novel you wrote, and I read it over and over

[MARY]
You didn't get it the first time?

[THE BLOB]
I said Frank you're coming down to Mexico
I think Frank is moving back to Paramount

[MARY]
These are the movers
These are the shapers
These are the people that fill the papers

[THE BLOB]
Mexico

[MARY]
These are the friends of Frank

[THE BLOB]
Moving back to Paramount

[MARY]
Each one a perfect wank

[THE BLOB]
When you see a movie that successful what
Can you say?
Congratulations!

[FRANK]
Thank you!

[MARY]
These are the movers
These are the shapers
These are the people that give you vapors

[FRANK]
20 years ago who'd have guessed
Who'd have guessed we'd be standing here
God! We would have been so impressed
Now we're here with the most

[THE BLOB]
Mexico

[FRANK]
Brilliant minds on the coast

[THE BLOB]
Moving back to Paramount

[FRANK]
Notice who is their host?

[THE BLOB}
Mexico
Beautiful, Frank
Acapulco, Mexico
Beautiful, Frank
When you've made a movie that successful where do you go?
Paramount!

[MARY]
Here's to us. Who's like us?

[FRANK]
Damn few. Thanks, pal for flying out

[MARY]
Thanks, pal for the ticket. I got a letter from Frankie before I left

[FRANK]
Well at least my son writes to you

[MARY]
To thank me for coming to his graduation

[FRANK]
He didn't invite me

[MARY]
He didn't invite me either

[FRANK]
How is Frankie?

[MARY]
He asked the same thing about you. Ugh, Frank, please, why don't you two-

[MEG]
Where Franklin Shepard goes I go because that's where the A-lists go!

[GUEST]
I just figured out what (?) stands for

[FRANK]
Let's have some coffee, Mary?

[THE BLOB]
Poor Frank

[MARY]
I never drink coffee

[THE BLOB]
He handled that well

[MARY]
Caffeine isn't good for you

[THE BLOB]
That Frank

[FRANK]
Look, I know this was just a formula movie-

[GUEST]
He's loyal as hell

[FRANK]
And my next picture, you wait

[MARY]
I gave up waiting

[THE BLOB]
He's polite and considerate rain or shine

[MARY]
It began when I tasted communion wine

[THE BLOB]
That Frank

[FRANK]
Who says "Mustn't go too far'?
I say look at where we are
It's our time coming through
I say good me and you
I say roll
I say ride
I say hey there's food inside

[THE BLOB]
That Frank
Frank's movie was fun
You'd think he'd relax
He's a genius at marketing
Not Frank
The man has the Midas touch
He's laying new tracks
And he knows how to make a star
If you had no idea what charisma meant
And you just can't be jealous he's such a gent
He's the kind of a man to be president
That Frank
That Frank
That Frank
