She wants to be onstage, front page
I'll sign the dotted line;
You know, I'm gonna shine
She just needs that big break, that great take
To start my new career;
You'll see that I'm sincere
And I won't blow it

Uh, Mister Director? Please...
Don't reject her til you're heard her read
For the lead in your new production
Mister Producer? Please...
Don't seduce her til you're heard her sing
And everything in your new production

She got to be hot stuff, real tough
I wanna be photographed
Asked for my autograph
I don't want to keep house for a spouse
I'm much rather be the girl;
I need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies
I'm much rather be the girl;
I need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies
I'm much rather be the girl
Need much more to be the pearl
Of the movies
