Philip Marlowe

It's a god-awful small affair, To the girl with, the mousy hair, But her mummy is yelling "No", and her daddy has told her to go, But her friend is nowhere to be seen, Now she walks through her sunken dream, To the seat with the clearest view, And she's hooked to the silver screen, But the film is a saddening bore, For she's lived it ten times or more...

Philip Marlowe is Raymond Chandler's famous knight-errant private dick, played most famously and iconically by Humphrey Bogart in Howard Hawks' The Big Sleep, with my favorite portrayal being Elliott Gould in Bob Altman's The Long Goodbye.
