I Don't Like John Wayne

from Star Stuff by Ally Craig

/

lyrics

Buster Keaton can't be beaten
On the silent screen, Buster reigned supreme
Fred Astaire makes me stare
When Fred and Ginger dance, it's a fine romance

But there is a star I can't abide
When he's on the screen I run and hide

I don't like John Wayne
I don't like John Wayne
I'm not a fan of westerns anyway
Well maybe Johnny Guitar is okay

But I don't like John Wayne
Something in my brain
Says I must complain
'Cos I don't like John Wayne

I think Bogie is okie-dokie
And Conrad Veidt, he is queidt alreidt
Ingrid Bergman is superb, man
And Myrna Loy gives me so much joy

But there is a guy I just can't stand
The scourge of every Native American

I don't like John Wayne
I don't like John Wayne
I've never even seen one of his flicks
But by all accounts he was a dick

So I don't like John Wayne
Even just the name
Makes me scream in pain
Yeah I don't like John Wayne

That's just what I think so go on, sue me
At least he's not as bad as Mickey Rooney
