Verse 1
G 
I want to go on record
as dedicating these next two songs
Gm 
to my favorite all -time sitcom comic,
G 
Jackie Gleason.
Now I'll tell you something,
Bb 
G 
working with Jackie Gleason
in Smokey and the Bandit
and being able to hang around that dude
Bb 
G 
Gm 
was one of the rare experiences in my life.
He truly was the great one
and what you saw was what you got.
G 
mean that was that was Jackie.
I mean you know he'd come on the set
and he was a great one.
His golf clubs were gold
and they had the great one written
on them.
And his golf bag.
But I grew up like so many of us
here
that they're my age back
in the days of Uncle Miltie
and and Jack Benny and those guys
G 
and when the honeymooners came on,
Am 
that was the end of me.
C 
Raph Cramden
G 
is the greatest character
F#m 
I've ever seen in my life.
G 
A 
And these songs I'm going to sing to you,
G 
F#m 
I want you to think of him
G 
when you hear these songs.
And the first one I'm going to do
is kind of a parody,
a spoof on the song My Way, okay?
G 
and and I kick it off with my guitar
kind of like this
