Joni Mitchell - NUMBER ONE lyrics

words and music by Joni Mitchell

Got to be a winner--trophy winner

Get to hold your head up high up!

Number one!

Got to be a winner--trophy winner

Get to hold your head up high up!

Number one!

Number one

Number one

Honey tell me--

When your working day is done--

Were you reaching for the high rung--

Reaching to be number one?

You get a car

You want a boat

You want an eenie-meenie-miney miney-moe

Oh there must be more to living

Than a mortgage and a lawn to mow

Sweaty work

And lucky breaks

And blood and tears is all it takes

To be a winner!

People cheer

And people gasp

People want your autograph

When you're a winner!

Run, run, run, run

Let's see you run

We'll be betting by the starting gun!

Shall we shower you with flowers

Or shall we shun ya

When your race is run?

Will we shower you with flowers

Or will we shun ya

When your race is run?

Will they shower you with flowers

Or will they shun ya

When your race is run?

Got to be a winner--trophy winner

Get to hold your head up high up!

Number one!
