I Just Want to Be a Star versuri

I Just Want to Be a Star lyrics by Nunsense 30th Anniversary Cast

When I became a nun at a very early age
I had to choose between the convent
And a life upon the stage

So when rev’rend mother said
We’re putting on a show
I must tell you I was thrilled to death
I couldn’t wait to go

But then, to my surprise
Rev’rend mother didn’t see
What’s so obvious: the
Stage was meant for me

Money and fame, I don’t desire
I only want to sparkle
I’m not here to start a fire

Ya see, I don’t care if I’m ever rich or famous
I just want to be a star
I don’t care if you know what my name is
I just want to be a star

I want to be the nun who makes you cheer
The nun who’s out in front
Instead of in the rear
For once I want to lead the band
And have the crowd in the palm of my hand

I don’t care if I’m ever rich or famous
Just so I can be a star

When we began this show
They were really green
They didn’t know a chorus
Line
From a chorus queen

They didn’t realize
That in the chorus line
You never get to strut your
Stuff, you never really shine

I don’t care if I’m ever rich or famous
I just want to be a star
Sure, it’s true that my
Only claim to fame is
„I got what it takes to be a star”

I know my vow of poverty
Means I can’t make a fortune
But when we’re eighty
And sittin’ on the porch in
The old nun’s home, and they ask who we are
I just wanna say, „Hey, I was a star!”

I don’t care if I’m ever rich or famous
Just so I can be
(the chorus line is not for me)
I’m red hot to be a star!
Yo, Regina, park your own damn car!
I just wanna be a star!
