When I Get My Name In Lights
I'd dance and I'd sing
I'd do anything
Just to get my name in lights
I got to try to hit the heights
Now that I'm free as the breeze again
Old nimble knees again
And soon they'll all know my name
I'll have fortune and fame
When I get my name in lights
It can happen overnight
In these modern times
Here in the jazz age
The world is at a crazy stage
You can be famous and cause a panic
If you slick back your hair and then you fly the Atlantic
And that's why I won't let go
Until I'm on the radio
And when you come to see the sights
That'll be my name spelled right
Lighting up Times Square
I'll sit on a flagpole
Whatever's the rage
Just to get my picture on the front page
And just to get my name in lights
We're living life from this fairytale
New York we're on our way
We'll be known for our charm
Yet, sparkling wet
Even clear a bowl we'll admit
We got it
When I get my name
When I get my name in lights
Mmm, I gotta see my name in lights
Harry, there's no problem
You're gonna see it in big, big lights
Now Pete, I'm not talking about them little lights
I want them big ones
Harry, you got to trust me
They'll be big.
I'd do anything
Just to get my name in lights
I got to try to hit the heights
Now that I'm free as the breeze again
Old nimble knees again
And soon they'll all know my name
I'll have fortune and fame
When I get my name in lights
It can happen overnight
In these modern times
Here in the jazz age
The world is at a crazy stage
You can be famous and cause a panic
If you slick back your hair and then you fly the Atlantic
And that's why I won't let go
Until I'm on the radio
And when you come to see the sights
That'll be my name spelled right
Lighting up Times Square
I'll sit on a flagpole
Whatever's the rage
Just to get my picture on the front page
And just to get my name in lights
We're living life from this fairytale
New York we're on our way
We'll be known for our charm
Yet, sparkling wet
Even clear a bowl we'll admit
We got it

When I get my name in lights
Mmm, I gotta see my name in lights

You're gonna see it in big, big lights
Now Pete, I'm not talking about them little lights
I want them big ones
Harry, you got to trust me
They'll be big.
