I Should Win An Oscar

 

Some say I am an outlaw

From the underground;

My reputation proceeds me

From town to town.

I'll fix all of your troubles

Talk to anyone you need.

I'll be there on the double,

And your lovin' I'll feed.

I'll never do the things I should;

I never seize the day.

But I should win and Oscar for the roles I play.

 

Hey hey

Hey hey

Someday

 

 

Yeah I can take anybody down

With just one punch.

I'll reinvent the wheel,

And still have time for lunch.

I'll understand your problems, babe…

You know I've been there too.

I'll get you into thinking

Every lie I tell is true.

I know my fame and fortune must

Still be on its way.

And I should win an Oscar for the roles I play

Yeah, I should win an Oscar for the roles I play

 

Hey hey

Yeah eh

Someday

 

Who would've thunk that a kid

From a suburban town…

That the Academy would come

And track him down.

There are so many people

That I would like to thank;

I wrote their names down last night

While I was drunk in the tank.

I'll be anything to anyone

As if I'm made of clay.

 I should win an Oscar for the roles I play,

Yeah, I should win an Oscar for the roles I play.

 

Hey hey

Hey hey

Someday

 

Now the way that things are goin

I think we should rewrite this scene.

But if you get me backlit,

I could look like a dream.

Yeah everybody tells me

They've not seen anyone this good.

That's why I'm packing up my bags

For Hollywood .

Oh, I'm headed for the bigtime, babe;

My mama'd always say,

I should win an Oscar for the roles I play.

Yeah, I should win an Oscar for the roles I play.

 

Hey hey

Hey hey

Someday

 

Hey hey

Hey hey

Hey hey

Someday
