When will I, will I be famous? Yes, you're suitably one With your body and the sun Yes, you are You've read Karl Marx And you've taught yourself to dance You're the best by far But you keep asking the question Oh, you're not supposed to mention When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I see my picture in the paper? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I, will I be famous? You keep asking me, babe You're a slave to fashion And your life is full of passion It's the way you are You've suffered for your art With the jogging in the park You know you should go far But you keep asking the question Oh, you're not supposed to mention I'm not supposed to mention When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I see my picture in the paper? I can't answer, I can't answer that Oh, I can't tell you when You'll see your name Up in lights When will I, will I be famous? You keep asking me, babe I can't wait You won't suffer in silence You're a talent, you know that I've noticed You'd like to be a legend Big star over night Tell me, when? I can't answer your question I can't wait, it's driving me insane And you're impossible in patience Tearing at my brain It's tearing I can't take it, take it much more When will I, will I? When will I? When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I see my picture in the paper? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I? When, when, tell me when? I can't answer, I can't tell you Answer that When will I, will I be famous?
