Letras
Though there's soot on my shoes
There's a beautiful dream in my heart
And the life in the flues
Is a life to lament
If I only could be
A glamorous movie star
Just a glamorous movie star
I'd be truly content
I am proud of my craft
Every girl should be proud of her craft
I'm at home in a shaft
It's my natural bend
But I'd give it all up
If I could be a movie star
Just a glamorous movie star
I'd be truly content
They could double my rent
And I'd still be content
And I think to myself
Other people are movie stars
Why can't I be a movie star?
Like Fay Wray and George Brent
I'd be truly content
I needn't be a rich glamorous
Nor a really great glamorous
Just a simple straight glamorous movie star
It's the principle that counts
If the world only knew
This is not the real Ella they see
I may stand in the flue
But I yearn for the vent
To the world I'm a sweep
But inside I'm a movie star
If I just were a movie star
I'd be truly content
