Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
In recognition of a hundred million album sales In recognition of your popularity You take your gaudy prize From people you said you despise You wear your self-respect upon your bended knee In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown who likes to put the crown Before or after their name In recognition of your service to the working class In recognition of your party loyalty You get an ermine robe And you declare when you are probed You only took it so the missus would be pleased In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown who likes to put the crown Before or after their names Oh vanity It gets them one by one Cat, religion, monarchy But only in tale, fairly frail In recognition of your bravery up on the stage In recognition of your bankability You get to wait in lines With soldiers crippled by land mines And you think it's the Yanks that don't get irony In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown who likes to put the crown Before or after their name In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown who likes to put the crown Before or after their name Their name Their name Their name
