Fake Your Way To The Top - Dreamgirls/Broadway/Original Cast Version

Thirteen years of solid gold platters
Rising cost and cocktail chatter
Fat deejays, stereophonic sound (Oh, baby)
The game of hits goes 'round and around
But you can fake your way to the top
'Round and around (Try that part baby)
'Round and around!
Fake your way to the top
'Round and around! (You fit right in there sweetheart!)
You can fake your way to the top
'Round and around! (I knew you'd have it!)
And it's always real, so real (Always so real)
Yeah, when you're comin' down!

Ladies and gentlemen
The wildest man in show business
James Thunder Early!

Help me, Jesus! (Help me, Jesus!)
Help me, help me, Jesus! (Help me, Jesus!)
Help me, help me, Jesus! (Help me, Jesus!)
Help me, Jesus
Up, back up, back up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, back to number one
Back to number one

I know what's happening
I've been around
Working my way
To every town
I make my living
Yes, I do
Off of my sound
And a game of hits
Here we go, goes around and around and a- (Round and around and around and around)
You can fake your way to the top (Round and around)
Blow your horn
Fake your way to the top (Round and around)
Oh, yeah, don't you know I faked my way to the top (Round and around)
Yes, I did
And it's always real, it's so real (Oh it's so real)

Help me, Jesus (Help me, help me, Jesus)
Help me, Jesus (Help me, help me, Jesus)

Fake my way to the top! Yeah! Yeah!
