Paparazzi, can't make the man
Paparazzi, can't break the man
Next to the transit lounge, see the paparazzi tears
No one came in today from Boston or Tangiers
And in departures only faceless trippers trip
Loaded with duty free, held in white knuckle grip
Snap it up, flash away
Steal a camel for a day
Break the story in heavy type
The news is running late tonight
Bedecked with Nikon necklaces, hear the paparazzi cries
Under their noses walk the famous in disguise
Conspicuously huddled there but no one stops to look
They've got their crayons out to color in the book
Snap it up, flash away
Steal a camel for a day
Break the story in heavy type
Paparazzo won't be home tonight
Paparazzi, write it down
Paparazzi, turn it around
Paparazzi, take it, fake it
Break it 'cos it's a story
Paparazzi, oh
Paparazzi, oh
Paparazzi, oh
Quickly give your story, give your story to the paparazzi
Write it, write it, write it, write it, write it
Paparazzi, can't make the man
Paparazzi, can't break the man
Now someone's cut the lines, communication's down
All photo film is fogged, celebrities surround
And jab their fingers at me, they kiss but I can't tell
Even poor paparazzi must have privacy as well
Snap it up, flash away
Steal a camel for a day
Break the story in heavy type
The news is running late tonight
Snap it up, flash away
Steal a camel for a day
Break the story in heavy type
Paparazzo won't be home tonight
