Ol’ Mel
Son of Pharo
Summer days spent with Johnny and Joe
Laughing and hollering like the world was gonna end
Oh what a way to go
Heart’s still out there on the Derby track
With his children and the garden patch
In the front yard working hard
To make this world not so bad
Apple of the eye of a moonbeam
Have another drink with Runaround Sue
Drink a Manhattan for dear ol’ Aunt Kate
Have another for you
Ol, Mel
Son of Pharo
Easy on the eye and alright with a bow and arrow
Dancing with the wife all across the room to the Rolling Stones
Picking on the old guitar
Laying low under the radar
Hoping everyone is breathing easy, if not here’s his insurance card
Apple of the eye of a moonbeam
Finish up the Christmas tree
Have a Manhattan for your Dear Aunt Kate
But you can only have three
Apple of the eye of a moonbeam
Out there on the old golf course
The only thing that would make it better
Is a Kentucky Derby horse
Apple of the eye of a moonbeam
Have another drink with Runaround Sue
Drink a Manhattan for your dear Aunt Kate
Have another for you
Ol, Mel, son of Pharo
Life full of summer days
Drinking with the family by the garden patch
Have one more for dear Aunt Kate
