I'm The Greatest Star by Barbra Streisand

I'm The Greatest Star Lyrics

[00:01.87] I got 36 expressions
[00:03.49] Sweet as pie and tough as leather
[00:06.28] And that's six expressions more than all them Barrymore's put together
[00:12.62] Instead of just kicking me, why don't they give me a lift?
[00:18.92] Well, it must be a plot
[00:22.08] 'Cause they're scared that I got... such a gift?
[00:27.78] Well, I'm miffed
[00:32.11] 'Cause I'm
[00:36.90] The greatest star
[00:40.66] I am by far
[00:44.83] But no one knows it
[00:49.66] They're gonna hear a voice
[00:53.02] A silver flute (ah ooh ah ooh)
[00:56.95] They'll cheer each toot
[00:59.25] (Hey, that kid is terrific, mmm)
[01:01.38] When I expose it
[01:03.67] (Now can't ya see to look at me that)
[01:06.46] I'm a natural Camille
[01:12.27] As Camille, I just feel
[01:15.56] I've so much to offer
[01:18.03] (Hey, listen kid, I know I'd be divine because)
[01:20.82] I'm a natural cougher
[01:25.65] (Ahoo, aheh, ahay)
[01:28.34] Some ain't got it, not a lump
[01:31.48] I'm a great big clump of talent
[01:36.05] Laugh!
[01:37.79] (Ha ha ha ha)
[01:38.32] They'll bend in half
[01:39.88] (Did you ever hear the story about the traveling salesman?)
[01:41.93] A thousand jokes
[01:43.88] (Stick around for the jokes!)
[01:46.15] A thousand faces
[01:49.23] I reiterate
[01:51.17] When you're gifted, then you're gifted
[01:55.07] These are facts
[01:56.75] I've got no axe to grind
[02:01.16] Hey, whaddaya blind?
[02:04.76] In all of the world so far
[02:08.75] I'm the greatest star
[02:09.36] No autographs, please
[02:09.52] Ya think beautiful girls are gonna stay in style forever?
[02:09.79] I should say not
[02:09.79] Any minute now, they're gonna be out
[02:10.05] Finished!
[02:10.14] Then it'll be my turn
[02:10.48] Hmph!
[02:10.83] Who is the pip with pizzazz?
[02:14.52] Who is all ginger and jazz?
[02:18.34] Who is as glamourous as?
[02:21.60] Who's an American beauty rose?
[02:25.08] With an American beauty nose!
[02:28.57] And ten American beauty toes?
[02:32.32] Eye on the target and wham!
[02:35.93] One shot, one gunshot and bam!
[02:39.82] Hey Mister Keeney!
[02:44.41] Here I am!
[02:49.49] I'm the greatest star
[02:52.81] I am by far
[02:54.73] But no one knows it
[02:58.07] That's why I was born
[03:01.15] I'll blow my horn
[03:03.22] 'Til someone blows in
[03:06.42] I gotta break the lights
[03:09.58] Gotta flash of light
[03:11.89] I'll flicker then flare up
[03:14.90] All the world's gonna stare up
[03:19.13] Looking down, you'll never see me
[03:21.46] Try the sky 'cause that'll be me
[03:24.16] I can make 'em cry
[03:26.69] I can make 'em sigh
[03:28.12] Someday they'll clamor for my drama
[03:33.18] Have ya guessed yet?
[03:36.08] Who's the best yet?
[03:38.16] If ya ain't, I'll tell ya one more time
[03:44.63] You'll bet your last dime
[03:46.93] In all of the world so far
[03:49.44] I am the greatest, greatest
[03:52.37] Staaaaaaar!
[03:57.35]
