Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Released as a uk b-side in march, 1978<br><br>Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money<br>I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honey<br>Step on the thin ice lightly<br>And check out the show twice nightly<br>'cause I'm on the stage tonight<br>And if the price is right<br>I will amaze before the light I crave the light<br>Blinding white I need the light tonight<br><br>Take a look at me now and take a look at my billing<br>I'm not in it as an extra, I'm in it for the killing<br>Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me<br>'cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my ego<br>My ego and it's message<br>Oh inform the press, invite the guests<br>I need the press tonight<br><br>Do you remember acting out your youth<br>A romeo resplendent on an orange case<br>Do you remember how I would recite<br>And how I'd blow my lines and hide my face<br><br>Well maybe it was childish, foolish, before schoolish<br>Immaturish, lose your coolish<br>But I had to grow and prove my ego<br><br>Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money<br>I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honey<br>Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me<br>Oh 'cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my ego<br>My ego and it's message<br>Oh inform the press, invite the guests<br>I need the press tonight
