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."
