Elvis he's a hero, he's a superstar
And I hear that Paul McCartney drives a Rolls Royce car
And Dylan sings for millions and I just sing for free
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me
Everybody's makin' it big but me
Neil Diamond sings for diamonds and here's ol' rhinestone me
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me
Well, I hear that Alice Cooper's got a foxy chick
To wipe off his snake, and keep him rich
And Elton John's got two fine ladies and Doctor John's got three
And I'm still seein' them same old sleezoes, that I used to see
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me
Yeah, everybody's makin' it big but me
Well, I've got charisma and personality
Oh, how come everybody's makin' it big but me?
♪
What's wrong with that?
I don't see nothing wrong with it, Ray
Well, I paint my face with glitter just like Bowie does
And I wear the same mascara that Mick Jagger does
And I even put some lipstick on but that just hurt my dad and mom
And everybody's makin' it big but me
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me (everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it, everybody's makin' it big)
Yeah, everybody's makin' it big but me (everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it, everybody's makin' it big)
They got groupies for their bands and all I've got is my right hand
And everybody's makin' it big but me
Everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it, everybody's makin' it big
Everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it, everybody's makin' it big
Everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it, everybody's makin' it big
Everybody's makin' it, makin' it big but me
