A song about a Karaoke singer / American Idol wannabe
Lyrics
Karaoke at the OK Corral
(c) 2009 Sheila Dixon/Susan Foster-Trewick
Am D
The night is full tilt at the OK Corral
G G7
Pulsing lights and throbbing music all around
Am D
He sat beside me, asked my name
G G7
I’m Ruth Grabowski, and I’ve known fame
C D Am D
Just exactly what do you do? I told him, man, I sing a few.
G Am D G
Karaoke at the OK Corral, Will you sing there, can I be your pal?
G Am D
Karaoke singing with the song, Grab the microphone and sing along
Am D G G7
I sing the songs on the karaoke, And my friends tell me I’m A - OK
Am D G G7
The crowd goes wild when I appear, "You should be on American Idol", they cheer
C D Am D
"Something to Talk About" I sing, One by one they come to do their thing
(chorus)
Am D G G7
The guy beside me is a talent scout, Maybe he can help me OUT
Am D G G7
I'll get a manager and a band, We'll tour all over this great great land
C D Am D
Anyway, that's my true dream, I'm so anxious I could scream
Em Am D
(bridge) I plan to make it to the top on that TV show
Em Am D
Watch out judges, it's you I must know
(chorus)
