KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - Rocket To Stardom lyrics

It started when the neighbors saw my fancy new TV

That opens up the gate outside my home

And let's me let in anyone I really wanna see

Keeps out all them other dudes I don't.

Then one by one they started comin' over to perform

Someone played Temptation on kazoo

Nellie got as naked as the day that she was born

It sure was all over Baby Blue.

I've got electric eyes, two big dogs and a minefild

And miles and miles and miles of barbwire fence

But the biggest show in town is in my driveway

We ain't had a good night sleepin' since.

Orville Baker's showin' us the fastest draw in town

Cora Lee's clackin' on her spoons

Ol' Jesse's trick dog sure does look dead lyin' on the ground

Jesse's wife is a howling at the moon.

Charlie's ugly daughter sure can tap dance

Mable Thatcher's walkin' on her hands

Just as I was leavin' for the kitchen for a snack

Ol' Lula Belle amazed us with her fan.

I've got electric eyes, two big dogs and a minefild

And miles and miles and miles of barbwire fence

But the biggest show in town is in my driveway

We ain't had a good night sleepin' since.

Froney's got an act that's hard to follow

Ol' Norman plays a nimble tambourine

You should see what Sarah Lee can swallow

And ol' Billy does a wicked Mr Clean.

Good Lord if I'd've known this future when I started

Believe you me I'd never change a thing

I got a closet circuit circus in my bedroom

And a world full of whackos in the wings.

.

I've got electric eyes, two big dogs and a minefild

And miles and miles and miles of barbwire fence

But the biggest show in town is in my driveway

We ain't had a good night sleepin' since...
