By day I'm a workin' man,
layin' bricks or layin' pipe
I don't stand out in a crowd;
just look like one of the guys
Little do they know,
when I'm alone in bed at night,
I become the King of the Silver Screen

I stare at the ceiling there;
I know where I belong
I two step with Fred Astaire or
fighting old King Kong
I can be any hero at all;
Zorro or Don Juan
I know I'm the King of the Silver Screen

Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind
I could've been Valentino if I was born in another time

I might be solving a case or swinging from a tree
Share a joke with Crosby and Hope;
we're such good friends, you see
Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility
'Cause I'm the King of the Silver Screen

Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind
I could've been Errol Flynn
if I was born in another time

I could've been a star
I could've been a star
I could've played that part
But Hollywood movies keep flashin' before my eyes
I could've been Greta Garbo
if I was born in another time

I wake the very next day
go on back to work
I'm just a face in a crowd;
another average jerk
And all the guys on the building site look at me flirt
Because I'm the Queen of the Silver

Recitation:
Yes, I'm the Queen of the Silver Screen
I admit it to all my fellow workers
I don't care any more I'm tired of closets
I'm gonna eat my makeup for lunch today
Just stop hittin' me again All right guys?
I'm going to Hollywood to be a starlet
I know I'm 240 pounds and play center
for the Detroit Lions
I don't care any more
I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood
I'll make somebody a great little wife
"Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn"
