Lyrics
(Ladies and gentlemen) (In this evening's performance, the role of Fanny Brice will be played by Barbra Streisand) ♪ (Mr. Ryan?) (Oh, listen) (Look, um...) (Suppose all you ever had for breakfast was onion rolls) (Now, all of a sudden, one-one, in walks a bagel) (I mean, you take a look and you just say "What is that?") (Until you try it, that's my trouble, I'm a bagel on a plate full of onion rolls) (Nobody recognizes me, listen!) I got 36 expressions "Sweet as pie" to "tough as leather" And that's six expressions more than all them Barrymores put together Instead of just kicking me, why don't they give me a lift? Well, it must be a plot 'Cause their scared that I got such a gift Well, I'm miffed 'Cause I'm The greatest star I am by far But no one knows it, wait They're gonna hear a voice A silver flute They'll cheer each toot (Hey, that kid is too) When I expose it (Now can't you see to look at me that) I'm a natural Camille As Camille I just feel I've so much to offer (Hey, listen kid I know I'd be divine because) I'm a natural cougher Some ain't got it, not a lump I'm a great, big clump of talent Laugh They'll bend in half (Have you heard the story about the traveling salesman?) A thousand jokes (Stick around for the jokes) A thousand faces I reiterate When you're gifted, then you're gifted These are facts I've got no axe to grind Hey, what a day blind In all of the world so far I'm the greatest star Who is the pip with pizzazz? Who is all ginger and jazz? Who is as glamorous as? Who's an American beauty rose? With an American beauty nose And ten American beauty toes? Eyes on the target and wham! One shot, on gunshot and bam! Hey Mister Sixman Here I am I'm the greatest star I am by far But no one knows it That's why I was born I'll blow my horn 'Til someone blows it I'll light up like a light Right up like a light I'll flicker then flare up All the world's gonna stare up Looking down you'll never see me Try the sky 'cause that'll be me I can make them cry I can make them sigh Someday they'll clamor for my drama Have you guessed yet? Who's the best yet? If y'all ain't, I'll tell you one more time You'll bet your last dime In all of the world so far I'm the greatest, greatest Star
