They’re gonna put me in the movies,
they’re gonna make a big star out of me.
We’ll make a film about a man that’s sad and lonely
And all I got to do is act naturally.
Well I bet you I’m gonna be a big star,
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell.
The movies gonna make me a big star
‘Cos I can play the part so well.
Well I hope you’ll come and see me in the movies,
Then I’ll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big-time,
And all I gotta do is act naturally.
We’ll make the scene about a man who’s sad and lonely
And beggin’ down upon his bended knee.
I’ll play the part but I won’t need rehearsin’,
All I have to do is act naturally.
Well I bet you I’m gonna be a big star,
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell.
The movies gonna make me a big star
‘Cos I can play the part so well.
Well I hope you’ll come and see me in the movies,
then I’ll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big-time,
And all I gotta do is act naturally.
