I'm Nearly Famous Lyrics - Cliff Richard

I'm nearly famous 

The record man said'Don't let it go to your head, I'm gonna make you a star' 

If you've got it, use it, but don't abuse it, gave me money from an old fruit jar 

To exercise my delight, I went out that night and shook the town the way I knew 

how 

So mama please don't worry about me, I'm nearly famous now 

Six months later I'm a cool operator, and I know my way around 

The record man sighed, he really tried, but he couldn't get it off the ground 

But that don't bother me now cos I've got a friend who's gotta friend who 

really knows how 

So mama please don't worry about me, I'm nearly famous now

Still hanging on, still hanging on, hang on 

I met this real live walking, self-styled, self-assured, slow talking bore 

I thought I'd play him along, give him a song, to keep the doom dust away from 

my door 

But I didn't do what he wanted me to, but it didn't seem to matter somehow 

So mama please don't worry about me, I'm nearly famous now 

Still hanging on, still hanging on, hang on

Six months later I'm a part time waiter, but that didn't last long 

I stretched and squeezed at words I'd never heard to write a song 

And when it finally came, it sounded the same as a tune I'd heard before 

somehow 

But mama please don't worry about me, I'm nearly famous now 

Still hanging on.still hanging on
