Harry's Wall
Everywhere I go in this town, people recognize me. Probably 'cause they seen me singing these songs on TV. In the last few weeks I've found a gold-mine of exposure, my career is taking off, I'm a celebrity. The guy I buy my grape-fruit from smiles at me every morning. All the tellers at my bank are at my beckon call. Harry owns the shop in town where I take my dry cleaning, I gave him my 8x10 to hang up on his wall. Pretty soon I'll be a name in each and every household. My life-long dream is coming true it's happening for me. On the street the people stare and I can hear the whisper, "There he goes there's whats-his-name, we saw him on TV" Letras de canciones I try to be polite and friendly down-to-earth and normal so when I walk away they'll say "he's just like you and me" But there is a pressure it's so hard to act natural when milions see you every week sing these songs on TV. The snooty waitress in the wine bar is acting pretty friendly fending off there friendly females is pretty damn tricky. The 8x10s on Harry's wall are stars you all have heard of, there's Franky Vaughn, The three degrees, Chaz and Dave and me. All my life all I wanted was to be real famous on a surname basis with a lot of matridees. I'm the talk and toast of this town listen to them mumur "there he goes, there's whats-his-name we saw him on TV" I'd like to take the time right now to thank all of the people to hired me to write and sing these great songs on TV. It's advertising for myself I guess by now you've noticed almost all the songs I write somehow pretain to me. If you want an autograph, I can understand that. I can be reached at this adress, pencils ready, here we go. Whats-his-name 125 Parkway, London, NW-1 An 8x10 like Harry has will cost a little extra they're in demmand they're going fast send your request now. London is a lonely town but I am never lonely. Everybody knows me it's clear and plain to see. Yesterday a guy walked up he tapped me on the shoulder he said, "Are you whats-his-name? I saw you on TV." Yeah he said, "Are you whats-his-name? I saw you on TV." From Letras Mania
