lyrics

"Celebrity Samba" (D. Crommie)

I will gladly give my autograph
But you can’t take my picture for free
See me on the chat show circuit
My broad smile beaming
Think you’ll take me home with you?
Why you must be dreaming
You must be dreaming
Do the celebrity samba!

Think I’ll shoot a few Hollywood movies
Plan to be a big smash hit
Gonna break long-standing records
Chew the other competitors to bits

Snap my fingers
Roll the eyes
Shuffle feet
Toenails tap
Pounding pavement
Lifting eyebrows
On the level
Keep it tight
Burn it up
Toss your head
A little to the left
An inch too far
Wipe that smirk
Off your lips
Jump, jump, jump…

I’ll grant you an exclusive interview
A nickel a word
And drop all the famous lines that
You and I have ever heard, like…

Bottomfish city bourgeoisie
I’m a hard-headed one track mind kamikaze
All I want is wealth and fame
And if I utilize both elbows
Perhaps a slick stage name like…

Do the celebrity samba!

Pay no attention to that man
Behind the curtain
