Many people might ask themselves "What Would Jesus Do?" and make decisions based upon the answer to that question. Some of us however ask ourselves: "What would Robert Mitchum Do?" He was on and off the screen a tough, gritty, self controlled, realistic, direct, clear headed individual prone to enjoy the distractions of life occasionally while taking care of business with exemplary results while maintaining a sense of humor in a humble unsentimental and understated manner. In fact the very definition of a "Hard-Boiled" man and worth aspiring to be.

Lyrics

Hard-Boiled!

I like my women buxom and mean
I like my gin crisp and clean
I like my food hot and spicy
That's what I enjoy
Because baby...I'm HARD-BOILED!

I like my automobile long and low
I like the music up loud on my radio
I like my engine oiled and finely tuned
because baby...I'm hard-boiled

Well I'm faster than a hiccup, more slippery than a snake
My hide is tougher than a $2 dollar steak
My hair trigger temper is cocked and set
So back off baby don't you make me upset
Yes back off baby don't you make me upset

Hard-boiled, hard-boiled, that's my middle name
Hard-boiled, hard-boiled, hard livin' is my game
Well I've spelled it out for you, and what I said is true
I'm gonna spoil you if I can...
'cos I'm an H-A-R-D (hyphen) B-O-I-L-E-D MAN!

I like my cinema blue and my violence red
I like my friends beside me and my enemies dead
I want my money, so I can buy my toys
Because baby, I'm hard-boiled

I like my shoes spit shined and my suits pressed sharp
I like a woman who can finish what she starts
So decide now honey, the next move is yours
Because baby....I'm hard-boiled.

Well I'm faster than a hiccup, more slippery than a snake
My hide is tougher than a $2 dollar steak
My hair trigger temper is cocked and set
So back off baby don't you make me upset
Yes back off baby don't you make me upset

Hard-boiled, hard-boiled, that's my middle name
Hard-boiled, hard-boiled, hard livin' is my game
Well I've spelled it out for you, and what I said is true
I'm gonna spoil you if I can...
'cos I'm an H-A-R-D (hyphen) B-O-I-L-E-D MAN!
