| 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 |
