YOU'RE A STAR
Theme from the British TV Show "New Faces" (1973 - 1978)
Carl Wayne - 1973


Yesterday I was happy to play
For a penny or two a song
Till a fellah in a black sedan
Took a shine to my one-man-band
He said, "We got plans for you, you'd never dream"

You're a star, you're a star
A lamé suit and a new guitar
And I know that you'll go far
'Cause you're a star

You're a star, superstar
On you go, it's your finest hour
And I know that you'll go far
'Cause you're a star

I signed my name and the Friday came
When the song that I used to sing
Came out on a forty-five
I sang it on the TV live
Yes, the music played and I heard the people say

You're a star, you're a star
A lamé suit and a new guitar
And I know that you'll go far
'Cause you're a star

You're a star, superstar
On you go, it's your finest hour
And I know that you'll go far
'Cause you're a star

Woah! The record did fine
And there came a time
When I bought my own black sedan
And a piece of land for a home
In St. George's Hill (that's where they all live, ya know)

(Instrumental Break)

When I'm low, I'm a-happy to go
To the street where I used to play
Even though it makes me laugh
To have to sign my autograph
For the folks who used to drop me just to dance

Now they all say...

You're a star, you're a star
A lamé suit and a new guitar
And I know that you'll go far
'Cause you're a star

You're a star, superstar
On you go, it's your finest hour
And I know that you'll go far
'Cause you're a star

Yes, I'm a star

You're a star, you're a star
A lamé suit.............FADE
