Remember Me When You're Famous

Well M y father was a rock n' roll singer
Playing in a small town band
Despite what they say, he could hardly play
He was the greatest in the land

He sang a song about a junkie and a mom
And he sold out all the clubs
With a bass guitar,
He got real far,
And soon he was driving a brand new car

Remember me when you're famous
I already forgot your name

Well the band sold their million albums
And soon they was topping the charts
Sure they were drowning in piles of cash
But they'd really won the people's hearts
Now one day their manager, he got real drunk
And he called up the band and said
"Now listen here punk, if you wanna get far,
You better stop playing in that stupid bar"

Remember me when you're famous
I already forgot your name
Your name

Though the band sold their million albums,
It turns out they never got far
Cause Rock n' roll it ate away at their soul
And soon they were back to the bar
They say he became a drinker
And the band went their separate ways
But despite what they say, he could really play
And he still has that old bass guitar to this day
