Everybody knows when you go to the show

You can't take the kids along

You've gotta read the paper and know the code

Of G, PG and R and X

And you gotta know what the movie's about

Before you even go

Tex Ritter's gone and Disney's dead

And the screen is filled with *** Whatever happened to Randolph Scott

Ridin' the trail alone

Whatever happened to Gene and Tex

And Roy and Rex, the Durango kid

Oh whatever happened to Randolph Scott

His horse, plain as can be

Whatever happened to Randolph Scott

Has happened to the best of me Everybody's tryin' to make a comment

About our doubts and fears

True Grit's the only movie

I've really understood in years

You gotta take your analyst along

To see if it's fit to see

Whatever happened to Randolph Scott

Has happened to the industry Whatever happened to Johnny Mack Brown

And Alan Rocky Lane

Whatever happened to Lash Larue

I'd love to see them again

Whatever happened to Smiley Burnett

Tim Holt and Gene Autry

Whatever happened to all of these

Has happened to the best of me Whatever happened to Randolph Scott

Has happened to the industry
