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...
