Three Picture Deal (Demo)
OOOO-eee Love to hear Walter stomp and romp on this one. Great energy. He’s like a kid, just playing. Okay, a kid with an uncommonly deep voice…but he seems to be enjoying himself no matter what the register.

Here she stands in the doorway
Her face is framed in golden light
With creamy thighs and bedroom eyes
Call it “Urchin With an Appetite”
My favorite shirt — my terry towel
A bowl of cherries in her hand
It’s breakfast and some headshots
That she’s bringing for her brand new man
It’s a one — it’s a two — it’s a three
It’s a three picture deal
I said a one — it’s a two — it’s a three
It’s a three picture deal
Her new house on the hillside
Some blocks above the Sunset Strip
The yoga den is megazen
The vibey lighting ultrahip
She’s gushing on her cellphone
The trainer’s on eternal hold
Producer X is talking film
But the bottom line is solid gold
With a one — maybe two — even three
Yes a three picture deal
Yes it’s a one — even two — or a three
Yes a three picture deal
Well she’s leaving in the limo
She’s sorry but they’re running late
The night is here — the big premiere
It’s “The Lady and the Reprobate”
Now a man like me should never be
Where a man like me does not belong
But I know they’re gonna need a soundtrack
I know they’re gonna need a song
For the one
Two
Three
Three picture deal
It was a present to WB. At one time he considered a charity auction of stuff around the house (the ultimate in 're-gifting', perhaps?), and pics were taken of some of the items. The auction never happened but many of the items found good homes nonetheless
