Bernard Herrmann, Bernard Herrmann, Bernard Herrmann,
\nWasn’t German, Wasn’t German, Wasn’t German.
\nHe grew up in New York City, New York City.
\nAnd his music wasn’t pretty, was it pretty?
\nIt was Psycho. It caused Vertigo. It made the Earth Stand Still.
\nIt was a thrill, It was a thrill, It was a thrill, It was a thrill.
\nIt was The Wrong Man in the Gray Flannel Suit Who Knew Too Much.
\nIt was a White Witch Doctor in a Garden of Evil on Dangerous Ground.
\nIt was shrieking Birds and Khyber Rifles, Twisted Nerve and Endless Night.
\nIt was an Obsession on a Mysterious Island At the Center of the Earth.
\nIt was the Snows of Kilimanjaro at Farenheit 451.
\nIt was a Torn Curtain on Cape Fear Beneath the 12-Mile reef.
\nIt was The Ghost and Mrs. Muir in a Hatful of Rain.
\nAnd it all got started with Citizen Kane.
\nCitizen Herrmann. Not German. New York City. It was Pretty.<\/p>\n
