King Of The Silver Screen
(Lace And Whiskey)
One, two, hey
By day I´m workin´ man
Layin´ bricks or layin´ pipe
I don´t stand out in a crowd
Just look like one of the guys
But little do they know
When I´m alone in bed at night
I become the King of the silver screen
I stare at the ceilin
Then I know where I belong
A two-step with Fred Astaire
Fightin´ 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´ cross my mind
I could have been Valentino
If I was born in another time
I might be solvin´ a case
Or swingin´ from a tree
Share a joke with Crosby and Hope
We´re such good friends you see
Even Jimmy Dean I can be
With my versitility
´Cause I´m the king of the silver screen
Hollywood movies
Keep flashin´ cross my mind
I could have been Errol Flynn
If I was born in another time
I could have been a star
I could have been a star
I could have played that part
But Hollywood movies
Keep flashin´ before my eyes
I could have 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 the crowd
Another amorous jerk
And all the guys on the building site
Look at me and 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 anymore
I´m tierd of closets
I´m gonna eat my make-up for lunch today
Just don´t hit 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 anymore
I like make-up and dresses and Hollywood
I´ll make sombody a great little wife
Frankly, Scarlett, I dont give a damn
