By day I´m a workin´ man Layin´ bricks or layin´ pipe I don´t stand out in a crowd Just look like one of the guys Little do they know
When I´m alone in bed at night I become the King of the Silver Screen
I stare at the ceiling there; I know where I belong I two step with Fred Astaire or Fighting old King Kong I can be any hero at all; Zorro or Don Juan I know I´m the King of the Silver Screen
Hollywood movies keep flashin´ across my mind I could´ve been Valentino if I was born in another time
I might be solving a case or swinging from a tree Share a joke with Crosby and Hope We´re such good friends, you see
Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility ´Cause I´m the King of the Silver Screen
Hollywood movies keep flashin´ across my mind I could´ve been Errol Flynn If I was born in another time
I could´ve been a star I could´ve been a star I could´ve played that part But Hollywood movies keep flashin´ before my eyes I could´ve been Greta Garbo If I was born in another time
I wake the very next day Go on back to work I´m just a face in a crowd Another average jerk
And all the guys on the building site look at me flirt Because I´m the Queen of the Silver
Yes, I´m the Queen of the Silver Screen I admit it to all my fellow workers I don´t care any more. I´m tired of closets I´m gonna eat my makeup for lunch today Just stop hittin´ me again. All right guys? I´m going to Hollywood to be a starlet I know I´m 240 pounds and play center For the Detroit Lions I don´t care any more I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood I´ll make somebody a great little wife "Frankly, Scarlet, I don´t give a damn."
