| By day I’m a workin' man
|
| Layin' bricks or layin' pipe
|
| I don’t stand out in a crowd
|
| Just look like one of the guys
|
| Little do they know
|
| When I’m alone in bed at night
|
| I become the King of the Silver Screen
|
| I stare at the ceiling there;
|
| I know where I belong
|
| I two step with Fred Astaire or
|
| Fighting old King Kong
|
| I can be any hero at all;
|
| Zorro or Don Juan
|
| I know I’m the King of the Silver Screen
|
| Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind
|
| I could’ve been Valentino if I was born in another time
|
| I might be solving a case or swinging from a tree
|
| Share a joke with Crosby and Hope
|
| We’re such good friends, you see
|
| Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility
|
| 'Cause I’m the King of the Silver Screen
|
| Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind
|
| I could’ve been Errol Flynn
|
| If I was born in another time
|
| I could’ve been a star
|
| I could’ve been a star
|
| I could’ve played that part
|
| But Hollywood movies keep flashin' before my eyes
|
| I could’ve been Greta Garbo
|
| If I was born in another time
|
| I wake the very next day
|
| Go on back to work
|
| I’m just a face in a crowd
|
| Another average jerk
|
| And all the guys on the building site look at me flirt
|
| Because I’m the Queen of the Silver
|
| Yes, I’m the Queen of the Silver Screen
|
| I admit it to all my fellow workers
|
| I don’t care any more. |
| I’m tired of closets
|
| I’m gonna eat my makeup for lunch today
|
| Just stop hittin' me again. |
| All right guys?
|
| I’m going to Hollywood to be a starlet
|
| I know I’m 240 pounds and play center
|
| For the Detroit Lions
|
| I don’t care any more
|
| I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood
|
| I’ll make somebody a great little wife
