The Mamas & The Papas - I Wanna Be a Star

Copied!

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

edit bio

The Mamas and the Papas were a folk rock and psychedelic pop vocal group who recorded and performed on 1965–1968. They’re a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the ‘60s—the hippie movement.

Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early sixties.

The Mamas & The Papas released a total of five studio albums and seventeen singles over a four-year period, six of which made the Billboard top ten, and have sold close to 40 million records worldwide. These hit singles were:

No. 4: “California Dreamin'” No. 1: “Monday, Monday” No. 5: “I Saw Her Again” No. 5: “Words of Love” No. 2: “Dedicated to the One I Love” No. 5: “Creeque Alley” The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for their contributions to the music industry. The band reunited briefly to record the album People Like Us in 1971, but had ceased touring and performing by that time.
