King Of The Silver Screen lyrics
By day I m a working man
laying brick or laying 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 flashing 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 flashing 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?
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 hitting 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"
