By day I'm a workin' man,
   layin' bricks or layin' pipe.
   I don't stand out in a crowd;
   just look like one of the guys.
   Little do they know,
   when I'm alone in bed at night,
   I become the King of the Silver Screen.
   I stare at the ceiling there;
   I know where I belong.
   I two step with Fred Astaire or
   fighting old King Kong.
   I can be any hero at all;
   Zorro or Don Juan.
   I know I'm the King of the Silver Screen.
   Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind.
   I could've been Valentino if I was born in another time.
   I might be solving a case or swinging from a tree.
   Share a joke with Crosby and Hope;
   we're such good friends, you see.
   Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility.
   'Cause I'm the King of the Silver Screen.
   Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind.
   I could've been Errol Flynn
   if I was born in another time.
   I could've been a star.
   I could've been a star.
   I could've played that part.
   But Hollywood movies keep flashin' before my eyes.
   I could've been Greta Garbo
   if I was born in another time.
   I wake the very next day
   go on back to work.
   I'm just a face in a crowd;
   another average jerk.
   And all the guys on the building site look at me flirt.
   Because I'm the Queen of the Silver.
   Recitation:
   Yes, I'm the Queen of the Silver Screen.
   I admit it to all my fellow workers.
   I don't care any more. I'm tired of closets.
   I'm gonna eat my makeup for lunch today.
   Just stop hittin' me again. All right guys?
   I'm going to Hollywood to be a starlet.
   I know I'm 240 pounds and play center
   for the Detroit Lions.
   I don't care any more.
   I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood.
   I'll make somebody a great little wife.
   "Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn."
