Lyrics
By day I'm a workin' man
Layin' bricks or layin' 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 flashin' 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 flashin' 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
Recitation:
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 hittin' 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."
