You’re quite the ladies’ man: how did you do it, Van?

Van and fans

RIP Van Johnson (1916-2008)

FS:
You're quite the ladies man.
Just how'd you do it, Van?
It can't all be publicity.

VJ:
The boys at Metro call it "Personality."
Say Frank, you're awfully thin,
Just how did you begin
To set the style in the swoon industry?

FS:
I did it with my famished. . . personality.
I know it's not my place to make this crack,
But I hear tell that Gable's back.

VJ:
Frankie, here's a bromo.

FS:
Why?

VJ:
A. . . Como.

FS & VJ:
We're thankful to the flocks
Who wear the bobby sox
For without them we both must agree:
We never would have made it with our personality.

Van Johnson
