Verse 1:
Well I know it sounds funny
But I'm not in it for the money, no
I don't need no reputation
And I'm not in it for the show
band enters
Chorus:
I just want a hit record, yeah
Wanna hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record, yeah
One that everybody's got to know
Post-chorus:
Well if the program director don't pull it
It's time to get back the bullet
So bring the group down to the station
You're gonna be an overnight sensation

Verse 2:
I've been tryin' to write the lyric
Non-offensive but satiric too
And if you put it in the A-slot
It's just got to make a mint for you
repeat chorus
[repeat post-chorus w/sax solo until "overnight sensation"]
Bridge:
Gb/Db Db Gb/Db Db
I fit those words to a good melody
Gb/Db Db Gb/Db Db
Amazing how success has been ignoring me
Db/Cb Cb Db/Cb Cb
So long
Gb/Db Db Gb/Db Db
I use my bread making demos all day
Gb/Db Db Gb/Db Db
Writing in the night while in my head I hear
Db/Cb Cb Db/Cb Cb
The record play
AaddB Gm C
Hear it play

Wanna hit record, yeah [9X; drums enter 3rd time]
(4,6,8: number one)
band drops out
[piano/vocal improvisation intro chords, 6X (fade 3rd time)]
[2-bar drum fill w/overdubbed firecrackers]
band re-enters
Wanna hit record, yeah [repeat to fade]
