And so you want to be a rock 'n' roll star?

Oh listen now do what I say

And just get an electric guitar

Then take some time and learn how to play



And with your hair swung right

And your pants get tight, it's gonna be alright



Well then it's time to go down town

To the agent man, won't let you down

And so you sell to some company

Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware



And in a week or two if you make the charts

The girls will tear you apart



It's the price you paid for your riches and fame

Was it all a strange game? You're a little insane

The money, they gave and the public acclaim

Don't forget what you are, you're a rock 'n' roll star
