Everybody's Makin' It Big But Me
Written by - 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)
Everybody's makin' it big but me (Everybody's makin' it)
Neil Diamond sings for diamonds and here's ol' 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 ol' sleezos that I used to see

Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me (Everybody's makin' it)
Yeah, everybody's makin' it big but me (Everybody's makin' it)
Oh, I've got charisma and personality
Oh, how come everybody's makin' it big but me

Wha-what's wrong with that
I haven't seen nothin' 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, that just hurt my dad and mom
Everybody's makin' it big but me

Oh, everybody's makin' big but me
(Everybody's makin' it, everybody's makin' it
Everybody's makin' it bi-ig)
Yeah, everybody's makin' it big but me
(Everybody's makin' it, everybody's makin' it
Everybody's makin' it bi-ig)
They got groupies for their bands and all I've 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 bi-ig
Everybody's makin'...
