I'm Nearly Famous |
| The record man said’Don’t let it go to your head, I'm gonna make you a star' |
| If you’ve got it, use it, but don’t abuse it, gave me money from an old fruit jar |
| To exercise my delight, I went out that night and shook the town the way I knew |
| how |
| So mama please don’t worry about me, I'm nearly famous now |
| Six months later I’m a cool operator, and I know my way around |
| The record man sighed, he really tried, but he couldn’t get it off the ground |
| But that don’t bother me now cos I’ve got a friend who’s gotta friend who |
| really knows how |
| So mama please don’t worry about me, I'm nearly famous now |
| Still hanging on, still hanging on, hang on |
| I met this real live walking, self-styled, self-assured, slow talking bore |
| I thought I’d play him along, give him a song, to keep the doom dust away from my |
| door |
| But I didn’t do what he wanted me to, but it didn’t seem to matter somehow |
| So mama please don’t worry about me, I'm nearly famous now |
| Still hanging on, still hanging on, hang on |
| Six months later I’m a part time waiter, but that didn’t last long |
| I stretched and squeezed at words I’d never heard to write a song |
| And when it finally came, it sounded the same as a tune I’d heard before somehow |
| But mama please don’t worry about me, I'm nearly famous now |
| Still hanging on, still hanging on |
