Song Lyrics

She wants to be onstage, front page
I'll sign the dotted line
You know, I'm gonna shine
She just needs that big break,
That great take
To start my new career
You'll see that I'm sincere
And I won't blow it.

Uh, Mister Director?
Please...
Don't reject her 'til
You've heard her read
For the lead
In your new production.

Mister Producer?
Please...
Don't seduce her 'til
You've heard her sing
And everything
In your new production.

She got to be hot stuff, real tough
I want to be photographed,
Asked for my autograph.
I don't want to keep house
For a spouse.
I'd much rather be the girl
I need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies
I'd much rather be the girl
I need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies
I'd much rather be the girl,
Need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies.
