Lyrics
So you wanna to be a rock 'n roll star?
Then listen now to what I say (then listen now to what I say)
Just get an electric guitar (just get an electric guitar)
Then take some time (then take some time)
And learn how to play (and learn how to play)
And with your hair swung right (and with your hair swung right)
And your pants too tight, it's gonna be all right (and your pants too tight, it's gonna be all right)
Then it's time to go downtown (then it's time to go downtown)
Where the agent man won't let you down (where the agent man won't let you down)
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plasticware (who are waiting there to sell plasticware)
And in a week or two if you make the charts (and in a week or two if you make the charts)
The girls'll tear you apart (the girls'll tear you apart)
The price you paid for your riches and fame (riches and fame, for your riches and fame)
Was it all a strange game? You're a little insane (was it all a strange game? You're a little insane)
The money that came, and the public acclaim (money that came)
Don't forget what you are, you're a rock and roll star (don't forget what you are, you're a rock and roll star)
La, la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la
Writer(s): Christopher Hillman, Joan Mcguinness
