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 |
