Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album don't shoot me I'm only the piano player<br><br>Well there's slim times when my words won't rhyme<br>And the hills I face are a long hard climb<br>I just sit cross legged with my old guitar<br>It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star<br><br>Well it makes me laugh lord it makes me cry<br>And I think for once let me just get high<br>Let me get electric put a silk suit on<br>Turn my old guitar into a tommy gun<br><br>And root-toot-shoot myself to fame<br>Every kid alive gonna know my name<br>An overnight phenomenon like there's never been<br>A motivated supersonic king of the scene<br><br>I'll be a teenage idol, just give me a break<br>I'm gonna be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes<br>You can't imagine what it means to me<br>I'm gonna grab myself a place in history<br>A teenage idol that's what I'm gonna be<br><br>Well life is short and the world is rough<br>And if you're gonna boogie boy you got to be tough<br>Nobody knows if I'm dead or alive<br>I just drink myself to sleep each night<br><br>And so I pray to the teenage God of rock<br>If I make it big let me stay on top<br>You got to cut me loose from this one room dive<br>Put me on the ladder keep this boy alive
