Shel Silverstein Everybody's Makin' It Big But Me ------Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show (Shel Silverstein) 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 Oh, everybody's makin' it big but me Everybody's makin' it big but me Neil Diamond sings for diamonds And here's ole rhinestone me Oh everybody's makin' it big but me 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 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) 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 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......
