[Verse 1: David Olney]
Have I ever told you
I was once quite the ladies man?
My suits were Italian
My color vermillion
My words soft as satin
The language of love
[Verse 2: David Olney]
My life was the movies
And I was the leading man
The dashing romantic
With a touch of the tragic
My profile was perfect
And the language was love
[Chorus: John Prine]
Yes sir, Mr. Barrymore
You must have been something back then
They must have been wonderful years
And they won't come again
Yes sir, Mr. Barrymore
Can I pour you another?
[Verse 3: David Olney]
The women were lovely
In the flickering Hollywood light
Of course, there was Garbo
And Dietrich and Harlow
The look was come hither
And the language was love
Have I ever told you
I was once quite the ladies man?
My suits were Italian
My color vermillion
My words soft as satin
The language of love
[Verse 2: David Olney]
My life was the movies
And I was the leading man
The dashing romantic
With a touch of the tragic
My profile was perfect
And the language was love
[Chorus: John Prine]
Yes sir, Mr. Barrymore
You must have been something back then
They must have been wonderful years
And they won't come again
Yes sir, Mr. Barrymore
Can I pour you another?
[Verse 3: David Olney]
The women were lovely
In the flickering Hollywood light
Of course, there was Garbo
And Dietrich and Harlow
The look was come hither
And the language was love
