Well I bet you I'm gonna be a big star

I might win an Oscar You can never tell

The movies gonna make me a big star

'Cos I can play the part so well.

Well I hope you come and see me in the movies

Then I know that you will plainly see

The biggest fool that ever hit the big time

And all I gotta do is Act Naturally.
