Popstar |
Someone’s got to be the hero |
Someone’s got to do the job |
Someone’s got to do the business |
Someone’s got to be the fool |
Someone’s got to be the hero |
Someone’s got to do the job |
Someone’s got to be the clown who’s creating the sound and makes the world go |
round |
(Scatting by Scatman John) |
I’m a topstar, rock star, shooting star, falling star, hero and a sample success |
I got gold-plated toilet tissue |
Money never is an issue |
TV people call me as their guest (Scatting) |
I got low hangin' trousers all the way to the top |
All the things a home boy could ever be |
My life is so upgraded |
My ego’s so inflated |
That I’ve become an X-rated fantasy (Yeah) |
Someone’s got to be the hero |
Someone’s got to do the job |
Someone’s got to do the business |
Someone’s got to be the fool |
Someone’s got to be the hero |
Someone’s got to do the job |
Someone’s got to be the clown who’s creating the sound and makes the world go |
round |
(Scatting by Scatman John) |
I’m the Captain of Charisma and the Sultan of the Soul |
I’m looking I can set you all free |
Just look at me, it’s plain to see |
It’s obvious, you must agree |
I’m everything you’ll ever wanna be |
I take my name as serious as any popstar can |
I’ma leader and an icon and a revolution man |
I’m starring in a video I’m to hot to flop |
I’m the goal of every seeker and my ratings never drop |
(Scatting by Scatman John) |
Well I’m rising to the top and you can see I’m really hot |
And you know I’m everything I portray |
I’m so hip-slickin' cool and so charismic as a rule |
That I don’t take the time to finish what I say |
Popstar, lollipop, popsicle, hall of fame |
Look at me, I’m bigger than life |
I’ve got patent leather shoes and I never pay my booze |
And I don’t sing the blues or take a wife |
Everthing you’ve heard me say so far is a joke |
An open mind and sense of humour is our only hope |
I want to say just one more thing before I move along |
I betcha really glad we’re near the end on the song |
I leave you now, take a bow |
Hope you all agree |
A popstar isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be |
If I have to do anything it’s what I wanna say |
A pop is an explosion, all you’ve got is you today |
Someone’s got to be the hero |
Someone’s got to do the job |
Someone’s got to do the business |
Someone’s got to be the fool |
Someone’s got to be the hero |
Someone’s got to do the job |
Someone’s got to be the clown who’s creating the sound and makes the world go |
round |
(Scatting by Scatman John) |
(With Scatting Over) |
Someone’s got to be the hero |
Someone’s got to do the job |
Someone’s got to do the business |
Someone’s got to be the fool |
Someone’s got to be the hero |
Someone’s got to do the job |
Someone’s got to be the clown who’s creating the sound and makes the world go |
round |
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop (Just look at me) |
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop (Yeah) |
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop (Just look at me) |
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop |
