Well let's be Frank
well let's break down
the fourth wall
and let me tell you
where i'm at
well let's be Frank
well after all
isn't that
my name
and I will do
what must be done
be it good
or bad
and always
with a smile
on my face
and with grace
and courtesy
it's just like chess
how many moves
can you think ahead
of me
not many
i'm sure
I rarely put a foot wrong
but if I do
someone will pay
with their blood
or their pride
let's be Frank

excellent brother! Another show I've been wanting to get into, I saw some of the 1st episode long ago & this tune fits it like a glove. What a great atmosphere that piano riff creates with those synths, really enjoyed this one!
Rock On!

Nice one. I like those low piano notes and the spooky synth. They make an interesting backing.
I'm not familiar with the show but I like Kevin Spacey so I might have to check it out. He was great in "K-PAX" - I love that movie.

You captured the feel of the theme song here and i love that! Excellent work Jim.
I`ve been watching this show. Didn`t think i`d like it but i love it. The talking to the camera and audience like Ferris
Bueller is a bit odd, but still Kevin Spacey is awesome.

I remember loving the UK version of this series, but I haven't seen the USA remake. You do capture that quiet menace of the scheming Francis Urquhart though. Shall have to check the show out.
