By day I'm a workin' man,
|
layin' bricks or layin' pipe.
|
I don't stand out in a crowd;
|
just look like one of the guys.
|
Little do they know,
|
when I'm alone in bed at night,
|
I become the King of the Silver Screen.
|
I stare at the ceiling there;
|
I know where I belong.
|
I two step with Fred Astaire or
|
fighting old King Kong.
|
I can be any hero at all;
|
Zorro or Don Juan.
|
I know I'm the King of the Silver Screen.
|
Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind.
|
I could've been Valentino if I was born in another time.
|
I might be solving a case or swinging from a tree. Share a joke with Crosby and Hope; we're such good friends, you see.
|
Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility.
|
'Cause I'm the King of the Silver Screen.
|
Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind.
|
I could've been Errol Flynn
|
if I was born in another time.
|
I could've been a star.
|
I could've been a star.
|
I could've played that part.
|
But Hollywood movies keep flashin' before my eyes.
|
I could've been Greta Garbo
|
if I was born in another time.
|
I wake the very next day
|
go on back to work.
|
I'm just a face in a crowd;
|
another average jerk.
|
And all the guys on the building site look at me flirt.
|
Because I'm the Queen of the Silver.
|
Recitation...
|
Yes, I'm the Queen of the Silver Screen.
|
I admit it to all my fellow workers.
|
I don't care any more. I'm tired of closets.
|
I'm gonna eat my makeup for lunch today.
|
Just stop hittin' me again. All right guys?
|
I'm going to Hollywood to be a starlet.
|
I know I'm 240 pounds and play center
|
for the Detroit Lions.
|
I don't care any more.
|
I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood.
|
I'll make somebody a great little wife.
|
"Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn."
