I’m Gonna Be A Teenage Idol Lyrics

by Elton John1973

I’m Gonna 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
Ooh 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 Atomic Gun

And Root-toot-shoot
Myself To Fame
Every Kid Alive Gonna
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 Gonna Be A Teenage Idol
No Matter How Long It Takes
You Cannot Imagine
What It Means To Me
I’m Gonna Grab Myself
A Place In History
A Teenage Idol, O!
That’s What I’m Gonna Be,
O Yeah

Well, Life Is Short And
The World Is Rough
And If You’re Gonna 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 Gonna
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 Gonna Be A Teenage Idol
No Matter How Long It Takes
You Can’t Imagine What
It Means To Me
I’m Gonna Grab Myself
A Place In A History
A Teenage Idol, Oh, Eh, Ooh
That’s What I’m Gonna Be
