it'll never happen
don't go thinking it will
there are thousands of people like you
for the chance who would kill
but we all have to live in the real world
why don't you get a proper job
find yourself a nice girl

well it won't last
you were bound to do well
a minor success don't go thinking you're special
anyone could do what you've done
but you need something real to fall back on, son

remember me when you're famous
uy me a car but don't forget
you're still the same as me
i can see we will have to have words
someone should give him
just what he deserves
(right where it hurts)

the boy's a star
he should go far
the further the better
as far as you let him

well it's all right for you
we could never do the things you do
and didn't we always say
you should be on the stage
and everyone we know
was always right behind you
yes we said all the way
you'd be somebody, someday

you'll say it's a good job
you didn't give up the day job
it was such a thrill
to see your face on the cover
if they don't get you one way
they'll get you another

the boy's a star
he should go far
the further the better
as far as you let him
yes we know who you are, so go
