Corey Ford

Corey Ford (April 29, 1902 – July 27, 1969) was an American humorist, author, outdoorsman, and screenwriter. He was friendly with several members of the Algonquin Round Table in New York City and occasionally ate lunch there.

Ford was a member of the Class of 1923 at Columbia College of Columbia University, where he edited the humor magazine Jester of Columbia and wrote the Varsity Show Half Moon Inn. He also joined, and was expelled from, the Philolexian Society. Failing to graduate, he embarked on a career as a freelance writer and humorist. In the 1930s he was noted for satirical sketches of books and authors penned under the name "John Riddell". Theodore Dreiser was shown adopting the guise of a common workman building his newest and biggest novel from bricks and mortar. He reviewed Dead Lovers are Good Lovers as "Dead Novelists are Good Novelists." Ford's series of "Impossible Interviews" for Vanity Fair magazine featured ill-assorted celebrities, among them Stalin vs. John D. Rockefeller, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes vs. Al Capone, Sigmund Freud vs. Jean Harlow, Sally Rand vs. Martha Graham, Gertrude Stein vs. Gracie Allen, Adolf Hitler vs. Huey Long.

Gettin started really early,? got no time to hesitate
The stars alright to get to hell, from the dawn to pick me back
Break the loads? Ill break your leg, do ya think I give a damn
I will never almost over, Ill bring the bottom to the blind
(Chorus)
Thats so far to where they run, no tomorrow where to die
When you look into that home, you discover when its time to go
Yeah, your time to die, yeah go for the light
And if you judge me and pointing finger, have a look at yourself
Rename who thats alright, I behave like a pig or swine
I have all the bags and maybe some booze, hey bring me my running shoes
A tambourine and loads of beer, you dont wanna be alone here
Any excitement Ive had enough, I want more of that brown stone.
(Chorus)
Destruct your love creation, youre getting dusty yeah
Ive told you once Ive told you twice, you can never change my life
You want me to play the blues, never trust me drinking the booze
