Songtexte Buffalo Nickel Photoplay, Inc. - Peter Friedman
Anyone
can
get
lucky
in
america.
I
remind
myself
of
this
everyday.
The
first
nickel
i
ever
earned,
I
keep
in
a
little
silver
frame.
It's
how
i
gave
my
company
a
name,
Reminding
me
how
very
far
i
came!
I
was
a
Maker
of
the
silhouettes
Who
made
a
small
improvement-
A
little
book
of
silhouettes
That
simulated
movement.
Well,
people
seemed
to
like
it,
Soon
the
money's
going
clink!
And
i'm
buffalo
nickel
photoplay,
inc!
I
go
from
Silhouettes
to
photos.
I
invent
a
small
projector,
And
soon,
i'm
making
movies
And
they're
calling
me
director!
An
industry
is
dawning
And
i'm
standing
on
the
brink-
Mister
buffalo
nickel
photoplay,
inc!
Life
shines
from
the
shadow
screen
Comical,
yet
infinitely
true.
People
love
to
see
what
people
do,
Here
where
everyone
is
someone
new.
Such
tales
from
the
shadow
screen!
Little
men
who
never
get
the
breaks,
Fighting
on
till
something
fin'lly
takes-
What
a
lovely
movie
it
all
makes!
Well,
business
is
booming
I'm
happy
to
say.
I
just
made
a
contract
To
film
for
pathe
A
series
of
chapters
That
end
in
suspense-
Each
week,
see
what's
next
For
another
five
cents!
And
i
am
Waking
every
morning
Filled
with
such
anticipation!
I
frame
the
sea,
I
frame
the
sky.
And
this
is
my
vacation.
I
shake
your
hand,
I
kiss
your
hand,
I
buy
you
all
a
drink!
And
maybe
if
you
chance
to
see
A
movie
that
was
made
by
me
Remember
when
the
name
goes
by
That's
ash-k-e-n-a-z-y
The
baron,
now
american,
Who
happened
once
to
think
Of
silhouette
and
flicker
book
And
movies
as
they're
meant
to
look
And
buffalo
nickel
photoplay,
inc!
Action!
