Elvis, he's a hero, he's a superstar
They say that Paul McCartney drives a Rolls Royce car
And Dylan sings for millions, I just sing for free
Hey, everybody's making it big but me
Oh, everybody's making it big but me (Everybody's making it)
Everybody's making it big but me (Everybody's making it)
Oh, Diamond, he wears diamonds
Here comes Rhinestone Lee
Everybody's making it big but me
They say that Alice Cooper's got a foxy chick
To wipe off his snake and keep him rich
And Elton John's got two fine ladies
And Dr. John's got three
And I'm still seeing them same old sleazels
That I used to see, 'cause
Everybody's making it big but me (Everybody's making it)
Yeah, everybody's making it big but me (Everybody's making it)
I got charisma and personality
How come everybody's making it big but me?
What's wrong with that?
I paint myself with glitter just like Bowie does
And I wear the same mascara that Mick Jagger does
I even put some lipstick on
But that just hurt my dad and mom
And everybody's making it big but me
Everybody's making it, everybody's making it
Everybody's making it big
Everybody's making it, everybody's making it
Everybody's making it big
They found fame and fortune
And I found Tennessee
Everybody's making it, making it big but me
Everybody's making it, making it, making it
Everybody's making it big
Everybody's making it, making it, making it
Everybody's making it big
Everybody's making it, making it, making it
Everybody's making it big
Everybody's making it, making it big but me
Everybody's making it, making it, making it
Everybody's making it big
Everybody's making it, making it, making it
Everybody's making it big
Everybody's making it, making it, making it
Everybody's making it big
Everybody's making it, making it big but me
