I'm the Greatest Star
I got 36 expressions
Sweet as pie and tough as leather
And that's six expressions more than all them Barrymore's put together
Instead of just kicking me, why don't they give me a lift?
Well, it must be a plot
'Cause they're scared that I got... such a gift?
Well, I'm miffed
'Cause I'm
The greatest star
I am by far
But no one knows it
They're gonna hear a voice
A silver flute (ah ooh ah ooh)
They'll cheer each toot
(Hey, that kid is terrific, mmm)
When I expose it
(Now can't ya see to look at me that)
I'm a natural Camille
As Camille, I just feel
I've so much to offer
(Hey, listen kid, I know I'd be divine because)
I'm a natural cougher
(Ahoo, aheh, ahay)
Some ain't got it, not a lump
I'm a great big clump of talent
Laugh!
(Ha ha ha ha)
They'll bend in half
(Did you ever hear the story about the traveling salesman?)
A thousand jokes
(Stick around for the jokes!)
A thousand faces
I reiterate
When you're gifted, then you're gifted
These are facts
I've got no axe to grind
Hey, whaddaya blind?
In all of the world so far
I'm the greatest star
No autographs, please
Ya think beautiful girls are gonna stay in style forever?
I should say not
Any minute now, they're gonna be out
Finished!
Then it'll be my turn
Hmph!
Who is the pip with pizzazz?
Who is all ginger and jazz?
Who is as glamourous as?
Who's an American beauty rose?
With an American beauty nose!
And ten American beauty toes?
Eye on the target and wham!
One shot, one gunshot and bam!
Hey Mister Keeney!
Here I am!
I'm the greatest star
I am by far
But no one knows it
That's why I was born
I'll blow my horn
'Til someone blows in
I gotta break the lights
Gotta flash of light
I'll flicker then flare up
All the world's gonna stare up
Looking down, you'll never see me
Try the sky 'cause that'll be me
I can make 'em cry
I can make 'em sigh
Someday they'll clamor for my drama
Have ya guessed yet?
Who's the best yet?
If ya ain't, I'll tell ya one more time
You'll bet your last dime
In all of the world so far
I am the greatest, greatest
Staaaaaaar!
Sweet as pie and tough as leather
And that's six expressions more than all them Barrymore's put together
Instead of just kicking me, why don't they give me a lift?
Well, it must be a plot
