I'm The Greatest Star Songtext / Lyric

I got thirty-six expressions, sweet as pie to tough as leather
And that's six expressions more than all them Barrymores put together
Instead of just kicking me why don't they give me a lift?
Well, it must be a plot 'cause they're scared that I got such a gift
Well, I'm miffed 'Cause I'm the greatest star, I am by far!
But no one knows it - wait, they're gonna hear a voice
A silver flute, they'll cheer each toot
(Hey, that kid is terrific, hmm)
When I expose it, now can't you see to look at me that I'm a natural Camille, as Camille I just feel, I've so much to offer
(Hey, listen kid I know I'd be divine because)
I'm a natural cougher, some ain't got it, not a lump
I'm a great big clump of talent
Laugh - they'll bend in half
(Did you ever hear the story about the traveling salesman?)
A thousand jokes (stick around for the jokes!)
A thousand faces I reiterate, when you're gifted, then you're gifted
These are facts, I've got no axe to grind
Hey, what are you, blind?
In all of the world so far I'm the greatest star

No autographs, please
Do you think beautiful girls are gonna be a star forever?
I should say not
Any minute now they're gonna be out - finished!
Then it'll be my turn

Who is the pip with pizzazz? Who is all ginger and jazz?
Who is as glamorous as?
Who's an American beauty rose with an American beauty nose?
And ten American beauty toes?
Eyes on the target and wham, one shot, one gunshot and bam!
Hey, Mister Keeney, here I am!

I'm the greatest star, I am by far, but no one knows it
That's why I was born, I'll blow my horn till someone blows it
I'll light up like a light, light up like a light
I'll flicker then flare up, all the world's gonna stare up
Looking down, you'll never see me, try the sky 'cause that'll be me!

I can make 'em cry, I can make 'em sigh
Someday, they'll clamor for my drama
Have you guessed yet who's the best yet?

If you ain't I'll tell you one more time, you bet your last dime
In all of the world so far I am the greatest, greatest star!!!
