They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely

[Chorus]
Well I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
[Verse 2]
Well I hope you'll come and see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see

And all I gotta do is act naturally
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And begging down upon his bended knee

All I have to do is act naturally
[Chorus]
Well I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
[Verse 4]
Well I hope you'll come and see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
