This is the reoccurring dream
|
Born in the dreary gap between
|
What we have now
|
And what we wish we could have
|
More fulfilling--and less frustrating!
|
Out of the envy in our eyes
|
Look!
|
Glamorous picture people rise
|
Radiant!
|
Gleaming down from screens and pages
|
Ooh--glamour--before your very eyes!
|
Isn't it true--isn't it true?
|
Good question--I know--who cares
|
Look here they tell you
|
If you had this
|
If you had that
|
Latest styles and colors
|
If we had that for us mmmmm
|
Wouldn't it be fabulous
|
If you had that house, car, bottle, jar
|
Your lovers would look like movie stars
|
Movie stars, movie stars, movie stars
|
Order your youth secrets of the stars
|
Call now--just $9.99
|
Our discontent is their delight
|
They offer relief for the purchase price
|
Love in a bottle
|
Love on four wheels
|
Is that our new car Charles?
|
Isn't it true--isn't it true?
|
We guarantee it--pick up your phone and dial
|
See here they sell you
|
If you had this
|
If you had that
|
I want a new truck!--More power!
|
If you use this shampoo
|
True love will come to you
|
If you had that house, car, bottle, jar
|
Your lovers would look like movie stars
|
Movie stars, movie stars, movie stars
|
Hollywood's greatest legends
|
