King Of the Silver Screen [5:35] - Lace and Whiskey, 1977
	By day I'm a workin' man,
	layin' bricks or layin' pipe.
	I don't stand out in a crowd;
	just look like one of the guys.
	Little do they know,
	when I'm alone in bed at night,
	I become the King of the Silver Screen.

	I stare at the ceiling there;
	I know where I belong.
	I two step with Fred Astaire or
	fighting old King Kong.
	I can be any hero at all;
	Zorro or Don Juan.
	I know I'm the King of the Silver Screen.

	Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind.
	I could've been Valentino if I was born in another time.

	I might be solving a case or swinging from a tree.
	Share a joke with Crosby and Hope;
	we're such good friends, you see.
	Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility.
	'Cause I'm the King of the Silver Screen.

	Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind.
	I could've been Errol Flynn
	if I was born in another time.

	I could've been a star.
	I could've been a star.
	I could've played that part.
	But Hollywood movies keep flashin' before my eyes.
	I could've been Greta Garbo
	if I was born in another time.

	I wake the very next day
	go on back to work.
	I'm just a face in a crowd;
	another average jerk.
	And all the guys on the building site look at me flirt.
	Because I'm the Queen of the Silver.

	Recitation:
	Yes, I'm the Queen of the Silver Screen.
	I admit it to all my fellow workers.
	I don't care any more. I'm tired of closets.
	I'm gonna eat my makeup for lunch today.
	Just stop hittin' me again. All right guys?
	I'm going to Hollywood to be a starlet.
	I know I'm 240 pounds and play center
	for the Detroit Lions.
	I don't care any more.
	I like makeup and dresses and Hollywood.
	I'll make somebody a great little wife.
	"Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn."
