lyrics

15 Minutes

words & music Allan Thomas

Waiting for my ship to come in
Dreaming about my 15 minutes
The CD became a top-ten hit
Alert the media about my fifteen minutes

Wrote a speech for the grammy awards
Bought a tux I couldn't afford
Tune in watch me win it
Had a premonition it would transpire
Never gave up or lost the fire
It'll be in my New York Times obit
Big 15 minutes 15 minutes

The video went viral I cashed in
YouTube sensation for 15 minutes
Celebrity rehab after a bender
The usual baggage on the agenda
Lord you've got a big hand in it
Can't you just begin it
That 15 minutes 15 minutes

That's all

Paparazzi follow you
One of the rarefied and few
After that review in Rolling Stone
Date starlets under twenty-five
Sing on Saturday Night Live
Ready for my closeup if you please
15 minutes 15 minutes

Mark my my words this ain't no jive
Be as busy as a beehive
Like Popeye after eating spinach
We'll take a bath in the money I'll amass
Pretend it's gonna last
The sky's the limit
For 15 minutes just 15 minutes

Accolades off the hook
Record downloads of the book
Your name tweeted 'round the world
The babes beyond reach before
Swear it's you they adore
When it's gone I'll miss it
I'm sure sure gonna miss it my 15 minutes
My 15 minutes just 15 minutes

That's all I can taste it now
