I'm Going to Be a Teenage Idol lyrics

Well, there's slim times when my words won't rhyme

And the hills I face are a long hard climb

I just sit cross legged with my old guitar

It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star

Well, it makes me laugh Lord it makes me cry

And I think for once let me just get high

Let me get electric put a silk suit on

Turn my old guitar into a tommy gun

And root-toot-shoot myself to fame

Every kid alive going to know my name

An overnight phenomenon like there's never been

A motivated supersonic king of the scene

I'll be a teenage idol, just give me a break

I'm going to be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes

You can't imagine what it means to me

I'm going to grab myself a place in history

A teenage idol that's what I'm gonna be

Well life is short and the world is rough

And if you're going to boogie boy you got to be tough

Nobody knows if I'm dead or alive

I just drink myself to sleep each night

And so I pray to the teenage god of rock

If I make it big let me stay on top

You got to cut me loose from this one room dive

Put me on the ladder keep this boy alive

And root-toot-shoot myself to fame

Every kid alive going to know my name

An overnight phenomenon like there's never been

A motivated supersonic king of the scene

I'll be a teenage idol, just give me a break

I'm going to be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes

You can't imagine what it means to me

I'm going to grab myself a place in history

A teenage idol that's what I'm gonna be
