somebody
At 20, man, you’ve had it.
You know what I mean
and you start aging very fast
the day you reach thirteen,
and so before these golden days
these Lolita days
are through,
I’m gonna get myself some Gucci pants
and here’s what I’m gonna do:
I’m gonna be somebody
before they lay me in my grave
From the musical Celebration
- Lyrics by Tom Jones. Music by Harvey Schmidt.
