I'm a Very Important Person
|
I park in the V.I.P
|
And when I go to the bathroom,
|
i go in the V.I.P toilet
|
And when I wanna change a lightbulb,
|
I don't do it myself... Oooohhh no...
|
I have a technician
|
Cause I'm a V.I.P
|
I'm a V.I.P
|
I'm a V.I.P
|
I'm a V.I.P
|
Now, as I began to become a V.I.P,
|
i forgot what i've become a V.I.P for
|
I began to grow accustomed to people saying
|
"Right this way sir...drinks are on the house..."
|
Flight attendants on airplanes saying :
|
|
"Please...Really, I don't wanna bother you sir, but it's such a pleasure to have you on board.
|
May I have your autograph for my daughter ?"
|
"Yeah baby right after I go to the toilet
|
I i'll give you a couple of'em
|
Cause i'm a V.I.P!"
|
|
Now,one thing about V.I.P is,is they never seem to be alone
|
Ooohh no !
|
The "true" V.I.P must travel with an entourage !
|
People who say "Right on boss"
|
Cause it's a V.I.P!
|
Right on boss
|
I'm a V.I.P!
|
As i began to realise that i had gained V.I.P status,
|
worries began to creep in
|
What if one day,i woke up,and i was no longer a V.I.P ?
|
No more good tables at the restaurants...
|
No more strange women smiling and approaching me on the streets...
|
No more top notch booty
|
No more entourage to say "Right boss"
|
I began to have nightmares
|
And in my nightmares, I was just a fucking nobody.
|
Laying at the beach, imagining myself being a VIP !
|
Just like i was before...
|
Hearing the applause in my head
|
Beautiful warm embraces of superior members of the female gender...
|
|
V.I.P
|
V.I.P
|
|
Of course, when one becomes a V.I.P,
|
One meets other V.I.Ps
|
At social occasions...
|
And one inevitably thinks :
|
"thck ! How shallow and crass these people are !
|
They're not down to earth and real like me...
|
Oooohhh no ! I'm a very special V.I.P"
|
|
Another interesting phenomenon, associated with V.I.P celebrityhood, is the "V.I.P reflection effect", during which anyone associated with the V.I.P, becomes a sort of V.I.P in their own right ! Such as "son OF the V.I.P",
|
"guitar player FOR the V.I.P",
|
"girlfriend WITH the V.I.P",
|
"accountants of the V.I.P"
|
The maid, the dog, the music publisher ...huh !
|
All enjoy a sort of 'reflected glory', as in..
|
|
"Hi this is Nastea
|
I work for Iggy
|
And i'd like 6 tables tonight in the V.I.P section
|
And he needs passes for everyone
|
And free drinks of course
|
In the V.I.P area"
|
Right on boss
|
Cause i'm a V.I.P.
|
It's also true that when one is a V.I.P, everybody's happy to see you... All the time !
|
And there's an implicit rule that a V.I.P must never- never
|
Be on a barn.
|
Cause everybody expects YOU to make their day
|
And they're all be on to you if you're in a bad mood.
|
They will "thck!tchk!tchk ! mur mur mur mur mur!",
|
And you will find yourself with the wrong kind of attention:
|
A "difficult" V.I.P.
|
Psychologists tell us that a sense of self-esteem
|
Is so necessary in today's world.
|
As a V.I.P, I can guarantee you, you'll never be alone.
|
You'll never be alone.
|
Cause you're a V.I.P!
