The Lyrics

RIP Robin Williams 1951-2014 You made us all laugh. Thanks for the memories. We've never had a friend like you.

You played a ten-year-old with forties genes
You played a genie with a ghostly tail
Oh, Captain, “Rip your books! The day, you’ll seize”
You played a spinach-eating sailor man
You had some power in your comedy
You’d nail dramatic, tragic, eyes were damp
You gave us “Raptor Rap” and “I Eat Wood”
Well, all we had to do was rub your lamp
My favorite…

Mrs. Doubtfire, dear
“Make me a woman, please”
‘Twas a run-by fruiting
“I am Job”
We ain't never had a friend like you

Dave said he’s morning dew
And you’re a hurricane
Oh that scene at Bridges Restaurant
We ain't never had a friend like you

We laughed, and why should we be nervous
Spoofed the Boss as Elmer Fudd
Ain’t your last “hunt”
That “good” Will runt
Was worse off than that kid from Agrabah
Hatched from your Orkin egg
Fonz thought it was a dream
And then you moved with Mindy, dude
We ain't never had a friend like you

(Gibberish and scatting)

Can your friends do this?

(“Dude Looks Like a Lady” guitar solo)

Can your friends do that?

(“I do voices” scene)

Can your friends do this…

(Mrs. Doubtfire flips the bird)

Behind James Bond’s baaaaaaack?
Can your friends go, Good
Morn, Vietnam!
Can your friends go, “Mork calling Orson,” “I eat wood!”
Don’t forget you’re really Peter Pan

Remember RV when the toilet died?
Prez Teddy gave Ben Stiller midnight scares
Jumanji, terrible CGI
Jumanji, Fisher King, your longer hair
You had a powerful urge to bust my gut
Who‘s second-best? I really wanna know
You got a list that's three miles long, Miss Doubt
On the website IMDb.com

My Captain, don‘t mean Hook, find a classroom desk for thee
Well, that‘s the “Schlarp“… well, as per Garp
We ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
We ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
We ain't never!… Had a!… Friiiieeeend! Liiiiiike! Yooooouuuuu!
(Gibberish)
We ain't never had a friend like you!

P.S. I made up the word "Schlarp" because nothing else good rhymed with Garp.

Worked in more references than I was able to with my tune. Loved all of this movies so I got all of these references you threw in there. Robin was really one of a kind and he really will be deeply missed.

that was a great thing about Mr. Williams even if you didn't know him personally he had a way of making the audience feel like friends 5's

Very nice tribute Chris. Although I didn't see my favorite Williams' performance in your list of refs. "There's 150 people out there, and half of them are Kennedys!".

Agreed, a great tribute, Chris, The "run-by fruiting" gave me a chuckle. Speaking of Shlarp/Carp/Garp, I always thought that was a somewhat overlooked movie.
