When Will I Be Famous?

When will I be famous?

Yes you're suitably at one

With your body and the sun

Yes you are

Well you've read Karl Marx

And you've taught yourself to dance

You're the best by far

But you keep asking the question

One 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

One 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 wait,)

I can't answer that

And 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

A big star overnight (Tell me when)

I can't answer your question (I can't wait)

It's driving me insane

And your impossible impatience (impatience)

Tearing at my brain

I can't take it, take it much more

Got too much to hope for

When will I

When when when when wh-when

Will I, will I, 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

(What's the point of asking when?)

When will I see my picture in the paper?
