Lyrics

Famous

Staying in again on a Saturday night

I'm going to settle on the sofa and turn down the lights

I got 900 channels, but there's nothing to see

No wonder everybody thinks they should be on TV

We all want to be famous

Be a face on the screen

Read our name in the papers

Everybody wants to be on TV

(Nananannannnaanana)

Everybody wants to be on TV

Forget Audrey Hepburn, forget Bette Davis

I want to be known just for being famous

I can't act, I can't dance, I can't sing, can't you see?

But I'm young and I'm pretty and that's all that you need

We all want to be famous

Be a face on the screen

Read our name in the papers

Everybody wants to be on TV

(Nananannannnaanana)

Everybody wants to be like James Dean

I want to be the star tonight

And complain about fame in a story I sell to the news

I want to be the star tonight

Want to make the front page as I pose for the boys in the nude

We all want to be famous

Be a face on the screen

Read our name in the papers

Everybody wants to be like James Dean

We all want, we want to be famous

We all want to be like James Dean

We all want, we want to be famous

We all want to be on TV

We all want, we want to be famous

We all want to be like James Dean

We all want, we want to be famous

We all want to be on TV

We all want, we want to be famous

We all want to be like James Dean
