Everybody`s Makin` It Big But Me — текст песни (Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show)

(Shel Silverstein)

Elvis he`s a hero he`s a superstar
And I hear that Paul McCartney drives a Rolls Royce car
And Dylan sings for millions
And I just sing for free
Oh everybody`s makin` it big but me

Oh, everybody`s makin` it big but me
Everybody`s makin` it big but me
Neil Diamond sings for diamonds
And here`s ole rhinestone me
Oh everybody`s makin` it big but me

Well I hear that Alice Cooper`s got a foxy chick
To wipe off his snake, and keep him rich
And Elton John`s got two fine ladies
And Doctor John`s got three
And I`m still seein` them same old sleezoes, that I used to see

Oh, everybody`s makin` it big but me
Yeah everybody`s makin` it big but me
I`ve got charisma
And personality
Oh how come everybody`s makin` it big but me?

(What`s wrong with that?)
(I don`t see nothing wrong with it Ray)

Well I paint my face with glitter
Just like Bowie does
And I wear the same mascara
That Mick Jagger does
And I even put some lipstick on
But that just hurt my dad and mom
And everybody`s makin` it big but me

Oh, everybody`s makin` it big but me
Yeah everybody`s makin` it big but me
They got groupies for their bands
And all I got is my right hand
And everybody`s makin` it big but me

Everybody`s makin` it, makin` it, makin` it
Everybody`s makin` it big......
