Lyrics

Claim to Fame

What gives you this crazy thought

That you can talk to my woman

What's your claim to fame

What gives you half a mind

To even think her name

What's your claim to fame?

What's your name?

Gonna give you just one more chance

To make amends to my woman

You got yourself to blame

Only thing that's left to do

Is to think real hard about what you're gonna do

About your crazy game

What's your name?

What's your name?

Who the hell do you think you are?

What's your game?

Are you some 'Top of the Pops' star?

What gives you this crazy thought

That you think you can talk to my woman

What's your claim to fame?

What gives you half a mind

To even think her name

What's your claim to fame?

What's your name?

(Charlton)
