When Will I Be Famous

When will I, will I be famous?

Yes, you're suitably one

With your body and the sun

Yes, you are

You've read Karl Marx

And you've taught yourself to dance

You're the best by far

But you keep asking the question

Oh, you're not supposed to mention

When will I, will I be famous?

I can't answer, I can't answer that

When will I see my picture in the paper?

I can't answer, I can't answer that

When will I, will I be famous?

You keep asking me, babe

You're a slave to fashion

And your life is full of passion

It's the way you are

You've suffered for your art

With the jogging in the park

You know you should go far

But you keep asking the question

Oh, you're not supposed to mention

I'm not supposed to mention

When will I, will I be famous?

I can't answer, I can't answer that

When will I see my picture in the paper?

I can't answer, I can't answer that

Oh, I can't tell you when

You'll see your name

Up in lights

When will I, will I be famous?

You keep asking me, babe

I can't wait

You won't suffer in silence

You're a talent, you know that I've noticed

You'd like to be a legend

Big star over night

Tell me, when?

I can't answer your question

I can't wait, it's driving me insane

And you're impossible in patience

Tearing at my brain

It's tearing

I can't take it, take it much more

When will I, will I?

When will I?

When will I, will I be famous?

I can't answer, I can't answer that

When will I, will I be famous?

I can't answer, I can't answer that

When will I, will I be famous?

I can't answer, I can't answer that

When will I see my picture in the paper?

I can't answer, I can't answer that

When will I?

When, when, tell me when?

I can't answer, I can't tell you

Answer that

When will I, will I be famous?
