EVERYBODY'S MAKIN' IT BIG BUT ME
(Shel Silverstein)
As recorded by Dr. Hook on “Dr. Hook – The Best Of” (2009)

1. Elvis he's a hero; he's a superstar,
And I hear that Paul McCartney drives a Rolls Royce car,
And Dylan sings for millions and I just sing for free
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me.

CHORUS: Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me.
Everybody's makin' it big but me.
Neil Diamond sings for diamonds and here's ol' rhinestone me.
Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me.

2. Well, I hear that Alice Cooper's got a foxy chick
To wipe off his snake, and keep him rich,
And Elton John's got two fine ladies and Doctor John's got three,
And I'm still seein' them same old sleezoes that I used to see.

CHORUS: Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me.
Yeah, everybody's makin' it big but me.
I've got charisma and personality.
Oh, how come everybody's makin' it big but me?

(What's wrong with that?)
(I don't see nothing wrong with it, Ray.)

3. Well, I paint my face with glitter just like Bowie does,
And I wear the same mascara that Mick Jagger does,
And I even put some lipstick on, but that just hurt my dad and mom,
And everybody's makin' it big but me.

CHORUS: Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me.
Yeah, everybody's makin' it big but me.
They got groupies for their bands and all I got is my right hand,
And everybody's makin' it big but me.

Everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it,
Everybody's makin' it big.
Everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it,
Everybody's makin' it big.
Everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it,
Everybody's makin' it big.
Everybody's makin' it, makin' it, makin' it,
Everybody's makin' it big but me.
