I am only a ham It's the way that I am I was born just to play On a stage cold and bare In a spotlight's great glare It's my life it's my way
I'm a ham look at me On a stage I am free Every moment is mine Give me time to prepare Get an audience there And my talent will shine It will shine
In shady rooms and smoky light I bare my soul most every night … … … … … It's both my torment and my risk
It's in my blood It's in my soul I live to act To play my role The final challenge burning bright I talk I laugh I know it's right
Though I'm only a ham … … … … … It's my life it's my story It's a world of my own I can stand up alone In my moment of glory
And when the stage lights dim My cup fills to the brim I feel I can't go on Until the moment comes My heart pounds like a drum I watch my execution
The curtains rise at last A side my fears are cast … … … … … I'll enter make-believe And watch me as I weave The web of my illusion Illusion
Though I'm only a ham Let me be what I am I have chosen my fate I knew right from the start That I'd master my art And I'd live to create
You may think I'm insane And am foolish or vain But I'm true to my cause Set the stage Light the light You'll see genius tonight Here in my tour de force Tour de force
Full make-up on With natural face With clumsy movements Or with grace I wish I thought In even bursts I feel drunk I feel cursed
I'll play the king I'll play the fool I will be tender or be cruel I live I die … … … … … I lie to you And I believe
Some will envy or scorn But it's why I was born I am proud of my story I must be what I am I am only a ham In his moment of glory.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
