[Verse 1]
I never had much sense for either music or good jokes
Where does a boy like me fit better than in radio
So I began to host the local morning show
The other day when I was bored I started welding steel
The city council was impressed and fell down to their knees
And built an exhibition hall for me
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I won't go to look for fame and fortune
As long as there are people here who cheer and clap their hands
– everybody – I say: “My dear friend - Guess what I am?”
Local Hero Global Zero!
[Verse 2]
If you ain't got no self-esteem, you're shy and overweight
I'll teach you any drum you like, as long as I get paid
So join the marching elephant parade
On christmas eve my parents tell me: Honey please don't sing
Whenever I try to play guitar I break at least one string
But who needs talent if you've got the swing
[Chorus x2]
Don't you know that I won't go to look for fame and fortune
As long as there are people here who cheer and clap their hands
– everybody – I say: “My dear friend - Guess what I am?”
Local Hero Global Zero!
