Lyric I m Nearly Famous

I m nearly famous

The record man said Don t let it go to your head,I m gonna make you a star
If you ve got it,use it,but don t abuse it,gave me money from an old fruit jar
To exercise my delight,I went out that night and shook the town the way I knew
how

So mama please don t worry about me,I m nearly famous now

Six months later I m a cool operator,and I know my way around
The record man sighed,he really tried,but he couldn t get it off the ground
But that don t bother me now cos I ve got a friend who s gotta friend who
really knows how
So mama please don t worry about me,I m nearly famous now

Still hanging on,still hanging on,hang on

I met this real live walking,self-styled,self-assured,slow talking bore
I thought I d play him along,give him a song,to keep the doom dust away from
my door
But I didn t do what he wanted me to,but it didn t seem to matter somehow

So mama please don t worry about me,I m nearly famous now

Still hanging on,still hanging on,hang on

Six months later I m a part time waiter,but that didn t last long
I stretched and squeezed at words I d never heard to write a song
And when it finally came,it sounded the same as a tune I d heard before
somehow

But mama please don t worry about me,I m nearly famous now

Still hanging on.still hanging on
