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 gotta so is act naturally
Well, I'll 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
'Cause I can play the part so well
Well I hope you come and see me in the movies
Then I 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 that's sad and lonely
And beggin down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsal
All I gotta do is act naturally
Well, I'll 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
'Cause I can play the part so well
Well I hope you come and see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
All the air sucked out the room I'm living in
Now I'm forswearing the hustle
Come to mine and tell your tales of strange parades
Of strange parades
Of strange parades
Through the mullioned window, saw you type away
BASIC, FORTRAN, and in COBOL
In your snifter, soda laced with aspartame
With aspartame
With aspartame
Russell
Now I'm in the woods in Saratoga Springs
Writing hit songs about cars and girls
I'll thank you by name with my Grammy in my hands
In my hands
In my hands
