Done Too Soon

Jesus Christ, Fanny Brice

Wolfie Mozart and Humphrey Bogart

And Genghis Khan

And on to H. G. Wells

Ho Chi Minh, Gunga Din

Henry Luce and John Wilkes Booth

And Alexanders King and Graham Bell

Ramar Krishna, Mama Whistler

Patrice Lumumba and Russ Colombo

Karl and Chico Marx

Albert Camus,

E. A. Poe, Henri Rousseau

Sholom Aleichem and Caryl Chessman

Alan Freed and Buster Keaton too

And each one there

Has one thing shared

They have sweated beneath the same sun

Looked up in wonder at the same moon

And wept when it was all done

For bein' done too soon

For bein' done too soon

For bein' done
