Star!

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2001.

A star is a heavenly body
according to Webster, and Webster was right.

To see what he meant,
you can check out the gent
by a look at the sky any night.

What Noah said, I'd say, was perfectly true,
but the fact is he left out a fact or two;

If the lady's naughty but proper,
if the lady's chicer than chic,

If her escorts must wear a topper,
and each man's the man of the week,

If she rides around in a brand new foreign car,
The chances are,
The lady's a star!

If the lady's brilliantly witty,
if she makes the dialogue flash,

if the lady's way with a ditty,
makes the ditty seem like a smash;

If her songs add up to a fancy repertoire,
The chances are, the lady's a star!

If her smallest party is really extensive,
with tons of expensive caviar,

if the lady's someone with the same credentials,
someone with the same essentials,
someone who is worshipped from afar,

she's a genuine, positive, totally marvellous,
perfectly wonderful Star!

If the lady's starring this season,
if they're toasting her in champagne,

if her stylish bumps were the reason
why the critics all went insane,

If she thumbed her nose at that well known movie star,
the chances are, the lady's a star!

If the lady's who they're all after,
meaning Ira, Oscar, and Cole,

If the lady's wit provokes laughter,
like the wit were written by Noel;

if they've got a drink with her name in ev'ry bar,
the chances are, the lady's a star!

If the lady's habits are utterly charming,
yet sometimes alarming and bizarre,

If the lady's someone with the same dimensions,
someone with the same pretentions,
someone known from Maine to Cooch Behar,

She's a magical, glorious, radiant,
glamorous, thoroughly fabulous Star!
