Lyrics
FAMOUS FOR BEING FAMOUS
Just gimme my 15 minutes of fame and I'll shut up--you'll prob'ly never see me again!
Lawyers and agents keep giving me calls--Even though I can't really do anything at all
I got me a spot on Entertainment Tonight--which just goes to show PT Barnum was right
I've got a full time schedule doing nothing at all--Sittin' here waitin' for fortune to call
It's the life of a professional celebrity--but enough about me; what do you think of me?
I wanna be famous--for being famous
I wanna be famous -- for nothin' at all
Just gimme my 15 minutes of fame
and I'll shut up--you'll prob'ly never see me again!
I can't understand for the life of me -- why everyone hates the papparazi
Because any Joe Schmo can see- there's no such thing as bad publicity
Even if I ain't got nothin' to say--the dumb and dumber I am, the more you'll pay
As long as John Q. Public thinks I'm hot-I don't really care if it's true or not
I wanna be famous--for being famous
I wanna be famous -- for nothin' at all
Just gimme my 15 minutes of fame
and I'll shut up--you'll prob'ly never see me again!
how come -- ya wanna be famous? so I --- can be on TV
How come-- ya wanna be on TV? so I --- can be famous
how come -- ya wanna be famous? so I --- can be on TV
How come-- ya wanna be on TV? so I --- can be famous,..
for being famous
I wanna be famous -- for nothin' at all
Just gimme my 15 minutes of fame
and I'll shut up--you'll prob'ly never see me again!
