Neil Carlill - All About Eve

from Three On A Match by Neil Carlill, Jeff Mellin & King Toad

/

lyrics

Eve won the award
Birdie knew the score
Sanders took his own life in 1972
He said
“Dear world, I'm leaving because I'm bored”

Tallulah was appalled at Betty's husky voice
She thought impersonation
But Betty's voice was sore from
Screaming at husband number four

A triple suicide film
Or maybe just a double
Because Marilyn was sent to the angels by
R.F.K or so they say

Miscellanea calls All about Eve
It's a vision of the facts and what lies beneath
But sometimes it all seems so very microscopic

She stole the final scene
As the scheming heir to Eve
But Barbara Bates took her own life
At the age of 43

She's enshrined
In the three-way mirror

The Golden Globe was Betty's
But the Oscar wasn't in sight
They gave it to Judy Holiday
To Joan Crawford's delight
Fuel on the Feud, fuel on

Claudette injured her back
And Haywood was too young
They thought of Marlene Dietrich, Donna Reed and Ingrid Bergman
But Bette Davis was the one

The declining suns of All about Eve
It's a vision of the facts and what lies beneath
But sometimes it all seems so very microscopic

The playwright is just a weird process
By which a body could be dead
Or brilliant or vivid.

The Sideshow Refrains of all about Eve.
