Intro

Sha la la la la la la uh huh...

I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl

Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black- haired flamenco dancer

She dances while his father plays guitar. She's suddenly be autiful

We all want something beaut iful, I wish I was beautiful

So come dance this silence down through the morning

Sha la la la la la la la yeah uh huh...

Cut up, Maria! Show me some of them Span ish dances

Pass me a bottle, Mr . Jones

Believe in me. Help me believe in an ything

'Cause I want to be someone who beli eves

Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales

Stare at the beautiful women

"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."

Smiling in the bright lights, coming thr ough in stereo

When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

I will paint my picture. Paint myself in blue a nd red and black and gray

All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaning ful

(you know) Gray is my favorite color I felt so sym bolic yesterday

If I knew Picasso I would buy myse lf a gray guitar and play

Mr. Jones and me look into the future

Stare at the beautiful women

"She's looking at you. Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me."

Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar

When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

I wil l never be lonely

I will never be lonely

I want to be a lion. Everyb ody wants to pass as cats

We All want to be big, big stars, but we got diffe rent reasons for that.

Believe in me because I don't bel ieve in anything

And I want to be someone to believe, to b elieve, to believe.

Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio

Yeah we stare at the beautiful wo men

" She's perfect for you, man, there's got to be somebody for me."

I want to be Bob Dyla n

Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky

When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be.

Mr. Jones and me staring at the video

When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me.

We all want to be big stars, but we don't know w hy, and we don't know how.

But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be jus t about as happy as I can be.

Mr. Jones and me , we're gonna be big stars.....
