Chorus:
Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to do the business
Someone's got to be the fool
Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to be the clown
Who's creating the sound
That makes the world go 'round
[scatting]
I'm a top star, rock star, shootin' star, fallin' star
A hero and a sample success
I got gold-plated toilet tissue, money never is an issue
TV people call me as their guest
I got low-hangin' trousers all the way to the top
All the things a homeboy could ever be
My life's so upgraded and my ego's so inflated
I've become an X-rated fantasy, yeah.
Chorus
[scatting]
I'm the captain of charisma and the sultan of the soul
One look and I can set you all free
Just look at me, it's plain to see, it's obvious, you must agree
I'm everything you'll ever wanna be
I take my fame as serious as any popstar can
And I'm a leader and an icon and a revolution man
I'm starrin' in a video, I'm too hot to flop
I'm the goal of every seeker and my ratings never drop.
[scatting]
Well I'm risin' to the top and you can see I'm really hot
You know I'm everything I portray
I'm so hip, slick and cool, so charismic as a rule
That I don't take the time to finish what I say
Popstar, lollipop, popsicle, hall of fame
Look at me, I'm bigger than life
I got patent-leather shoes, ain't ever pay no dues
And I don't ever sing the blues or take a wife.
Everything you've heard me say so far is a joke
An open-minded sense of humor is our only hope
I wanna say just one more thing before I move along
I bet you're really glad at the end of the song
I'm leavin' now, take a bow, hope you'll all agree
A popstar isn't everything he's cracked up to be
If I have yet to do anything, here's what I wanna say:
A pop is an explosion, all you've got is you today.
Chorus
[scatting]
Chorus
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop, just look at me
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop, yeah.
Too hot to flop, too hot to flop, just look at me
Too hot to flop!
