It was released before I was born
But I had never seen it,
Never seen it until two days ago.
I had seen some excerpts
And knew some of the words,
And now I know,
I know that this will be,
Will be the beginning,
The beginning of a beautiful friendship.
It happened when she asked him,
“Play it Sam”
And he played that tune,
That famous tune.
Rick comes over
And sees her,
Sees the one he loved,
The one he loved some time ago,
She is sitting in his bar and he says,
Says those words,
“Of all the gin joints,
In all the towns,
In all the world,
She walks into mine.”
They talk and recall their love
And they remember,
They will always have Paris.
As they part once again
He looks at her with love
And says those words,
Those words we all know.
“Here\'s looking at you kid.”
So that was it,
I had now seen Casablanca
And a very good film it was,
I am sure others will agree.
So now for all of you out there
I will go out,
Go out and round up the usual suspects.
