New Broadway Cast Recording - That Frank Lyrics

[TYLER]
I said, "Frank, this picture is a watershed..."

[TERRY]
I said, "Frank, one day you'll run my studio..."

[SCOTTY]
I said, "Frank, will you listen to that response?"

[DORY]
I said, "Frank really knows what the public wants"

[TYLER]
I said, "Frank, this picture is a watershed..."

[MARY, spoken]
Know what I'm having?

[REUBEN, spoken]
What?

[MARY, spoken]
Not much fun.

[REUBEN, spoken]
Oh.

[FRANK, spoken]
Party!

[GROUP I]
That Frank—

[JEROME]
The guy is too much—

[FRANK, spoken]
Hey, the party's inside!

[GROUP II]
That Frank—

[FRANK, spoken]
You like the picture?

[TERRY]
The platinum touch

[FRANK, spoken]
How about some Champagne, huh?

[SCOTTY]
He has taste, he has talent—
[TERRY]
Is he the best?

[TYLER]
Plus a fine head for business

[K.T.]
The man is blessed

[COMPANY]
That Frank!

[REUBEN, spoken]
So what do you do?

[JEROME]
He's full of advice

[MARY, spoken]
I drink.

[GROUP II]
That Frank —

[REUBEN, spoken]
No, no, no, what do you really do?

[COMPANY]
And God, is he nice!

[MARY, spoken]
I really drink.

[K.T.]
What a friend—

[MEG]
What a host—

[RICH GUEST]
And his work is great

[TERRY]
Has a wife who is gorgeous—

[MEN]
A son who's straight

[COMPANY]
He's the type you could easily learn to hate
That Frank!

[FRANK]
Who says, "Lonely at the top?"
I say, "Let it never stop!"
It's our time
Coming through
All our dreams
Coming true
Working hard
Getting rich
Being happy—
There's a switch!

[GROUP I]
That smile—

[GUEST, spoken]
Don't you miss writing music?

[GROUP I]
He's hot but he's cool

[FRANK, spoken]
That was the old Frank Shepard.

[GROUP II]
What style—

[GUEST, spoken]
This guy's the American dream!

[GUEST]
And what a great pool!

[GROUP I]
If you had no idea what charisma meant—

[GROUP II]
And you just can't be jealous, he's such a gent—

[COMPANY]
He's the kind of a man that you can't resent
That Frank!

[TYLER]
I said "Frank, you're coming down to Mexico..."

[JEROME]
I think Frank is moving back to Paramount...

[MARY]
These are the movers
These are the shapers
These are the people
That fill the papers

[GROUP I]
Mexico...

[MARY]
These are the friends of Frank

[GROUP II]
Moving back to Paramount...

[MARY]
Each one a perfect blank

[COMPANY]
When you see a movie that successful
What can you say?
(spoken)
Congratulations!

[FRANK, spoken]
Thank you!

[MARY]
These are the movers
These are the shapers
These are the people
That give you vapors...

[FRANK]
Twenty years ago, who'd have guessed
Who'd have guessed
We'd be standing here?
God, we would have been so impressed!
Now we're here with the most—

[GROUP I]
Mexico...

[FRANK]
—Brilliant minds on the coast

[GROUP II]
Moving back to Paramount...

[FRANK]
And notice who is their host

[GROUP I]
Mexico...

[GROUP II]
Beautiful, Frank!

[GROUP I]
Acapulco, Mexico...

[GROUP II]
Beautiful, Frank!

[COMPANY]
When you've made a movie that successful
Where do you go?

[FRANK, spoken]
Uh—Paramount...

[GUEST, spoken]
I heard a reliable rumor that you're selling the Malibu house?

[FRANK, spoken]
Ah, you don't want it. Place doesn't even have a pool.

[MARY, spoken]
No pool?! In my rat's hole in New York, the john is terminally busted and the kitchen should be condemned. But no pool?! Trash it!

[FRANK, spoken]
Let's have some coffee, Mary.

[COMPANY]
Poor Frank—

[MARY, spoken]
I never drink coffee.

[COMPANY]
He handled that well

[MARY, spoken]
Caffeine isn't good for you.

[GROUP II]
That Frank—

[FRANK, spoken]
I'm aware this is just a formula picture.

[JEROME]
He's loyal as hell

[FRANK, spoken]
But my next movie—you wait.

[MARY, spoken]
I gave up waiting.

[COMPANY]
He's polite and considerate, rain or shine

[MARY]
It began when I tasted communion wine—

[COMPANY]
That Frank

[FRANK]
Who says, "Mustn't go too far"?
I say, "Look at where we are!"
It's our time
Coming through
I say, "Good—
Me and you"
I say, "Roll!"
I say, "Ride!"
I say, "Hey, there's food inside!"

[COMPANY]
That Frank!

[GUEST, spoken]
Your movie was fun!

[COMPANY]
You'd think he'd relax

[GUEST, spoken]
It's what the public wants.

[COMPANY]
Not Frank—

[GUEST, spoken]
Frank understands commercial!

[COMPANY]
He's laying new tracks

[GUEST, spoken]
And Frank made a star!

[COMPANY]
If you had no idea what charisma meant—
And you just can't be jealous, he's such a gent—
He's the kind of a man could be President
That Frank!
That Frank!
That Frank!

That Frank!
