Folks - What can I tell you about my next guest? This cat, allowed himself to be adored, but not loved And his success in show business, was matched by failure in his personal relationship bag, now That's where he really bombed And he came to believe that work, show business, love, his whole life, even his even himself, and all that jazz, was bullshit. He became the numero uno game player. To the point, where he didn't know where the games ended, and reality began. Like for this cat, the only reality is death man. Ladies and gentlemen, let me lay on you, a so-so entertainer, not much of an entertainer, and this cat was never nobody's friend - in his final appearance, on the great stage of life (you can applaud if you want to) Mr. Joe Gideon:
Music (singing has Vereen and Scheider in conversational mode with some chorus)
Bye bye life Bye bye happiness Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna die I think I'm gonna die
Bye bye love bye bye sweet caress Hello emptiness I feel like I could die Bye bye your life goodbye Bye bye my life goodbye Bye bye your life goodbye Two, three, four, five, six
Bye bye life Bye bye happiness Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna die I think He's gonna die I think He's gonna die I think I'm gonna die
There goes his baby with someone new She sure looks happy I sure am blue He sure is blue I sure am blue He sure is blue I sure am blue He sure is blue I sure am blue He sure is blue I sure am blue
(following with his singing in background) Bye bye life Bye bye happiness Hello loneliness I think He's gonna die
