Lyrics- Actor

I wanna be an actor- I gotta be an actor
So-so so far
I wanna be an actor- I gotta be an actor
Drive someone else's car
Insensitive to sorrow and nervous tension
I need help- if you need help
Send for me
Really good at laughter- It's my specialty
I need help- if you need help
Send for me- send for me
Entertain your guests
The life of the party
Now that I am an actor- a B-grade actor
So-so so far
Well they said 'You'd never be an actor'
'You'll never make an actor'
Practice will make you go far
I'm good with the demented ravings of a madman
I need help- and if you need help
Send for me
Really good at laughter- It's my specialty
I need help- and if you need help
Send for me- send for me-e-e
I'm here

Yeah- Good with the demented ravings of a madman
I need help- I know you need help
Send for me
Really good with laughter- It's my specialty
I need help- and if you need help
Send for me- send for me
I just gotta say
I ever learnt
Does it pay to be anarchistic? No
Pays to be an elastic actor
You can see from the side- make a decision
And with the luck o' the Irish
You'll learn- how to be- an actor
How to be up when you know your're down
Life of the party- The life of the party

I wanna be- I wanna be- an actor
I gotta be- I gotta be- an actor
I wanna be- I wanna be- An imposter

Actor
