Don’t Turn His Picture to the Wall versuri

Versuri Frank Merriwell or Honor Challenged & Gary Stevens – Don't Turn His Picture to the Wall lyrics

[Singing begins at 7:28]

[Tad / Sung]
Don’t turn his picture to the wall, my friends —
Not till you’re certain how the story ends.
Though we all hate this confusion,
We shouldn’t just jump to the closest conclusion.

Don’t speak his name behind a frown so huge!
Yesterday’s friend is not this morning’s Scrooge.
The times he helped us are too great to recall,
So don’t turn his picture to the wall.

[Other Characters]
Maybe he remembered some appointment he made previous.

Maybe he has fallen in a crevice dark and devious.

Has he gone into the forest on a caper
To find a sleeping bear
To learn the habits of
For some Science paper?

Maybe there’s a giant eagle came and grabbed him with his beak.

Now he’s in a nest with baby eagles on a mountain peak.

Or maybe there’s a crazy doctor gave him something
Making him small.

So don’t turn his picture to the wall.

No, that couldn’t have happened. No, no, no. Ah, Frank, I’ll find you… wherever you are…

[Sung]
Don’t scratch his name from off your Christmas list.
He’s still our friend — and still a Methodist!
Think of his good deeds, the big and the small,
And don’t turn his picture…

[Spoken]
Frank!

[Sung]
Don’t turn his picture…

[Spoken]
Frannnk!

[Sung]
Don’t turn his picture to the…
