Supremes - I'm The Greatest Star lyrics

rate me

(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill) <br />

<br />

Hey, can we have your autograph?<br />

My autograph?<br />

I'm nobody<br />

But wait a minute<br />

<br />

I've got 36 expressions<br />

Sweet as pie to tough as leather<br />

And that's six expressions more <br />

Than all the Barrymores put together<br />

Only six?<br />

<br />

Instead of kicking me<br />

I don't think they give me a lift<br />

I think it's a plot<br />

'Cause they're scared that I got <br />

Such a gift, I'm miffed<br />

<br />

'Cause I'm the greatest star<br />

I am by far, but nobody knows it<br />

Wait, they're gonna hear a voice<br />

A silver flute<br />

They'll cheer each toot<br />

When I expose it<br />

<br />

Can't you see the look at me<br />

That I'm a natural Camille?<br />

As Camille I just feel<br />

I have so much to offer<br />

I know I'll be divine because<br />

I'm a natural cougher<br />

<br />

Some ain't got it, not a lump<br />

She a great big clump of talent<br />

Laugh, they'll bend in half<br />

<br />

Did I tell the story about the traveling salesman?<br />

A thousand laughs<br />

Stick around for 'em folks<br />

A thousand faces, I reiterate<br />

When you're gifted<br />

Then you're gifted<br />

<br />

These are facts, I have 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 />

<br />

Who is the pip with pizazz?<br />

Who is all ginger and jazz?<br />

Who is as glamorous as?<br />

<br />

Who's an American beauty rose<br />

With that American beauty nose<br />

And ten American beauty toes<br />

<br />

Eyes on the target and wham<br />

One shot, one gun shot and bam<br />

Hey, world, here I am!<br />

<br />

I'm the greatest star<br />

I am by far<br />

But nobody knows it<br />

That's why I was born<br />

I'll blow my horn<br />

'Till somebody hears it<br />

<br />

I'll light up like a light<br />

Right up like a light<br />

I'll flicker and flare up<br />

All the world's gonna stare up<br />

Looking down <br />

You'll never see me<br />

Try the sky<br />

'Cause that'll be me<br />

<br />

I can make 'em cry<br />

I can make 'em sigh<br />

Someday they'll clamor <br />

For my dram-er<br />

<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 yer last dime<br />

In all the world so far<br />

She's the greatest, greatest<br />

<br />

Funny, life is far from sunny<br />

When the laugh is over<br />

And the jokes on you<br />

Well, a girl's gotta have a sense of humor<br />

That's one things you really needs for sure<br />

When you're a funny girl<br />

The fellow said "A funny girl"<br />

Funny, how it ain't so funny girl<br />

<br />

They're the luckiest people in the world<br />

With one person, one very special person<br />

A feeling deep in your soul says<br />

You were half, now you're whole<br />

No more hunger and thirst<br />

But first be a person who needs people<br />

People who need people<br />

Are the luckiest people in the world
