[Verse 1]
I wanna be seen on the movie screen
But I can never learn my lines
Or a stopwatch measurer just for the pleasure
But I can't tell the time
I would've been keen on the bankin' scene
If I could count to ten
And I might've been a damn good writer
If I could hold a pen
[Verse 2]
I could've been a real sweet dreamer
If I could only get to sleep
And I would try to be a scuba diver
But the water's much too deep
I might've gone far playing blues guitar
But I'm too highly strung
And I've been told "You never need grow old
If you stay forever young"
[Verse 3]
Now the reason I ain't a famous painter
Believe it or not, I'm colorblind
But I'm sure I'd make a great explorer
If I knew just what to find
I've often thought of being a judge in court
But I like to bend the rules
Or I could navigate if it's not too late
To join the ship of fools
[Verse 4]
Casanova is a real pushover
All I need is a lady friend
I'd bid fair to be a millionaire
If I could earn more than I spend
I would even try to buy a little pie in the sky
But I don't like to paint
And maybe this song would be twice as long
If I could think of something more to say
