People clapping and they’re cheering
Finale and he’s appearing
And there he was, my Don Juan
The screen flickered, then he was gone

Such a mystery or a crime
Authentic, the scene full of grime
The players, they really act on
The screen flickered, then he was gone

Action-packed, full of adventure
Gangsters and their risky venture
And there was not a single yawn
The screen flickered, then he was gone

People clapping and they’re cheering
The screen flickered, then he was gone*
