Song Description

Song honoring an American actor

Lyrics

Let me suggest we raise a glass to
Edward Everett Horton
It's sad that he's forgotten
By the young folks of today

From a faithful friend of Fred Astaire
To the voice of Fractured Fairy Tails
He brought a sweet absurdity
To the characters he played

He spoke a staccato fountain flow
Of polysyllabic silliness
While rushing through posh hotel suites
Leaving syntax in his wake

So, let us raise a toast to Edward Everett Horton
He shouldn't be forgotten
He was one of a kind

To think of him recalls a time
Of sweet so formal naïveté
When a butler's improprieties
Galvanized the stage

Perhaps it's nice to reminisce
Dear Edward Everett Horton
When life was less imposing
And we lived life less afraid


So, let us raise a toast to Edward Everett Horton
He should not be forgotten
He was one of a kind
