Chimneys are cozy,Chimneys are warm.
I think of chimneys as ports in a storm.
What warm and cozy, or not.
I would give up alot.
If I could only be a movie star.

A movie star.
Ooh to be a movie star.
A beautiful, glamorous, movie star.

No one imagines, I harbor this hope.
People who know me,
Keep sending me soap.
Lacy soot stains and tar,
They'd see how wrong they are.
If I could only be a movie star.

A movie star.
Ooh to be a movie star.
A beautiful, glamorous, radient, ravishing, movie star.

I'd be so grateful, that after premiers.
I'd sweep out the theatre and fold up the chairs.
I would know what it meant, to be truly content.
If I could only be a movie star.

Prospects look dismal, how can I go on?
My piggy is empty, my Kleenex is gone.
If I starve here alone,
Let them carve on my stone.
She never got to be a movie star.

I'm not asking much.
It's not as if I wanna be a rich, glamorous, beautiful, movie star.
Or even a well liked beautiful, glamorous movie star.
I just wanna be a beautiful, glamorous movie star.
Gloria Jones same.
A beautiful, glamorous, radient, ravishing, (achoo) movie star.
