overnight sensation

hollywood sure looked good to me when i first came

made my vow

somehow everyone would know my name

patiently

kept on waiting for my chance to come

prideful me

there's no returning to where i came from

but she went back

the lovely lady who come west with me

she could not wait

now she's married

living happily

but i still say a superstar is just a break away

and i must try

it's do or die 'til i hear the people say

you made it

you made it

our local boy has made it good

you made it

you made it

overnight sensation in hollywood

back again

make the rounds and go from door to door

sorry friend

you're just not quite what we were looking for

a letter comes

she still writes to you from time to time

you'd like to call

but she's too happy and

besides

you need the dime

then

at last

someone's calling with a role to play

it concerns a man who's lost his lover when she went away

a star is born

no one's ever seen it played so well

it almost seems the tears are real but it's just too hard to tell

you made it

you made it

found the price and paid it

i knew you would

you made it

you made it

overnight sensation in hollywood

yes sir

you made it

you made it

our local boy has made it good

you made it

you made it

overnight sensation in hollywood

yes sir

you made it

you made it

found the price and paid it

i knew you would

you made it

you made it

overnight sensation in hollywood

yes sir
