Funny Girl movie - I'M THE GREATEST STAR lyrics
rate me<br>
Fanny waits for Eddie to come out of the theatre and tries to explain that <br>
she doesn't fit into the chorus because she's got star potential.<br>
<br>
FANNY:<br>
Listen,<br>
I've got thirty-six expressions--<br>
Sweet as pie to tough as leather,<br>
And that's six expressions more<br>
Than all them Barrymores put together.<br>
Instead of just kicking me<br>
Why don't they give me a lift?<br>
It must be a plot,<br>
'Cause they're scared that I got<br>
Such a gift--well, I'm miffed--'cause<br>
I'm the greatest star--<br>
I am by far, but no one knows it!<br>
Wait, they're gonna hear a voice,<br>
A silver flute--ah hah, ah hah--<br>
They'll cheer each toot<br>
(Yay! She's terrific!)<br>
When I expose it!<br>
Now, can't you see to look at me<br>
That I'm a nach'ral Camille?<br>
As Camille I just feel<br>
I've so much to offer.<br>
Kid, I know I'd be divine because<br>
I'm a nach'ral cougher.<br>
(coughs)<br>
Some ain't got it--not a lump,<br>
I'm a great big clump of talent!<br>
Laugh!<br>
They'll bend in half.<br>
(Did you ever hear the story about the traveling salesman?)<br>
A thousand jokes:<br>
Stick around for the jokes,<br>
A thousand faces. I reiterate,<br>
When you're gifted,<br>
Then you're gifted,<br>
These are facts--I got no axe to grind.<br>
Hey, what are they--blind?<br>
In all of the world so far<br>
I'm the greatest star!<br>
Who is the pip with piz-azz?<br>
Who is all ginger and jazz?<br>
Who is as glamorous as?<br>
Who's an American Beauty rose<br>
With an American Beauty nose,<br>
And ten American Beaty toes,<br>
Eyes on the target, and wham--<br>
One shot, one gun shot and bam!<br>
Hey, Mr. Ziegfeld, here I am!<br>
I'm the greatest star,<br>
I am by far,<br>
But no one knows it!<br>
That's why I was born--<br>
I'll blow my horn<br>
Till someone blows it!<br>
I'll light up like a light<br>
Right up like a light<br>
I'll flicker, then flare up<br>
All the world's gonna stare up<br>
Lookin' down<br>
You'll never see me--<br>
Try the sky,<br>
'Cause that'll be me.<br>
I can make 'em cry,<br>
I can make 'em sigh,<br>
Someday they'll clamor<br>
For my dram-er.<br>
Have you guessed yet,<br>
Who's the best yet?<br>
If you ain't I'll tell you one more time.<br>
You bet your last dime<br>
In all of the world so far<br>
I'm the greatest, greatest star! <br>
<br>
