Well I know it sounds funny
|
But I'm not in it for the money, no
|
I don't need reputation
|
And I'm not in it for the show
|
|
I just want a hit record
|
Want to hear it on the radio
|
Want a big hit record
|
One that everybody's got to know
|
|
Well the program director don't pull it
|
Then it's bound to get back the bullet
|
So bring the group down to the station
|
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
|
|
I've been tryin' to write the lyric
|
Not offensive but satiric, too
|
If you can get it in the "A" slot
|
It's just gotta make a mint for you
|
|
And I want a hit record
|
Want to hear it on the radio
|
Want a big hit record
|
One that everybody's got to own
|
|
Overnight sensation
|
|
I fit the words
|
To a good melody
|
Amazing how success
|
Has been ignoring me so long
|
|
I've used my bread
|
Making demos all day
|
And writing in the night
|
While in my head I hear
|
The record play
|
Hear it play
|
|
Hit record, yeah
|
Want a hit record, yeah
|
Want a hit record, yeah
|
(Number one)
|
Want a hit record, yeah
|
(Number one)
