Paul F. Cowlan - Wannabe Blues lyrics

[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
