I Call Myself Ice

Marion Morrison had a dog

Marion named his dog Duke

Marion Morrison went to Hollywood

Hollywood named Morrison John Wayne

Morrison didn't care for the name John Wayne

But he didn't like Marion Morrison either

So throughout his acting career Marion

On the sets and in the poker games

Morrison wanted to be called Duke

Which was the name he had given his dog

Before he became John Wayne.

Today I found out that I am older

Than Marion Morrison was when he died

And I thought he was an old man

And I call myself Ice and think I'm young.

I better giddyap, pilgrims.

Only Issur Danielovitch called Duke John

Whenever they worked together

Hollywood  named Danielovitch Kirk Douglas

 Kirk Danielovitch is alive today at 103

Maybe I've got some time left on the saddle
