| Oh well my mama didn’t think too much to that rock 'n' roll
|
| Every weekend she was downtown selling her soul
|
| But my father was a different man — he said, «Boy you gotta get what you can,
|
| you’re a superstar»
|
| You’re a star, you’re a star, you’re a great great superstar
|
| You’re a star, you’re a star, you’re a great big superstar
|
| Well I was just 17, I was singing at the high school dance
|
| Everybody singing said, «Boy you just don’t stand a chance»
|
| But then a guy in a gold Rolls Royce —
|
| He said, «We sure do like your voice, you’re a superstar»
|
| You’re a star, you’re a star, you’re a great big superstar
|
| You’re a star, you’re a star, you’re a great big superstar
|
| Well, he took me down town in a Cadillac
|
| It all works out or you won’t get back
|
| You don’t mind a rumble and a tumble in the night
|
| You’re gonna be a star for a long long while
|
| …just to visit my mama and my pa
|
| My mama looked at me — said, «What you doing with that great big car»
|
| Yet my papa was a different man — he said
|
| «Boy you gotta get what you can, you’re a superstar»
|
| You’re a star, you’re a star, you’re a great big superstar
|
| You’re a star, you’re a star, you’re a great big superstar
|
| You’re a star, you’re a star, you’re a great big superstar
|
| You’re a star, you’re a star, you’re a great big superstar
|
| That’s all boys! |
