Listen, I got 36 expressions
Sweet as pie to tough as leather
And that's six expressions more than all them Barrymores put together
Instead of just kicking me why don't they give me a lift?
I think it's a plot
'Cause they're scared that I got
Such a gift
Well, I'm miffed
Cause I'm the greatest star
I am by far
But no one knows it
Wait!
They're gonna hear a voice
A silver flute
Ah ah ah ah
They'll cheer each toot
(Hey, that kid is terrific, huh?)
When I expose it
Now can't you see to look at me
That I'm a natural Camille
As Camille I just feel
I've so much to offer
(Hey, listen kid I know I'd be divine because)
I'm a natural cougher
Some ain't got it, not a lump
I'm a great big clump of talent
Laugh!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
They'll bend in half
(You ever hear the story of the traveling salesman?)
A thousand jokes
(Stick around for the jokes)
A thousand faces
I reiterate
When you're gifted, then you're gifted
These are facts
I've got no axe to grind
Hey, what are they blind?
In all of the world so far
I'm the greatest star
Who is the pip with pizzazz?
Who is all ginger and jazz?
Who is as glamorous as?
Who's an American beauty rose?
With an American beauty nose?
And ten American beauty toes?
Eyes on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey Mr. Ziegfeld!
Here I am!
I'm the greatest star
I am by far
But no one knows it
That's why I was born
I'll blow my horn
Till someone blows it
I'll light up like a light
Right up like a light
I'll flicker then flare up!
All the world's gonna stare up
Looking down you'll never see me
Try the sky cause that'll be me!
I can make 'em cry!
I can make 'em sigh!
Someday they'll clamour for my drama
Have you guessed yet
Who's the best yet?
If you ain't, I'll tell ya one more time
You'll bet your last dime
In all of the world so far
I am the greatest, greatest star
