I never cared to be a football star
Kick a leather bag of wind around the park (in the rain)
Wouldn't feel right drivin' a train
But there's got to be something I can claim
My fifteen minutes of fame, fifteen minutes of fame
If I put my head down and work real hard
Maybe I can learn how to play guitar
Write me a hit on MTV
Every woman in the world will wanna know about me
And my fifteen minutes of fam eetc....
I don't need forever in the public eye
Just a little time in the sun
Gimme a shot, watch me shine
I'm the one, now tell me where do I sign?
Some folkns make it big and throw it all away
I got a plan - I wouldn't work another day
Livin' in the lap of luxury
Your nine-hundred second celebrity
My fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes, gimme
Fifteen minutes of fame
