Verse 1
Lo and behold
I think I see that great gig in the sky

Gods with the angels
Making sound that hits ya ‘tween the eyes

And they said:

(TELL ME, SONNY, WHAT THE HELL YOU GONNA BE!?
YOUR MINDS BEEN A FIXIN ON THE MUSIC AND THE RHYTHM
AND YOU’RE HEARTS WORN DOWN ON YOUR SLEEVE)

You’re gonna be somebody someday.

Verse 2
Making waves across the ocean, playing down at Carnegie Hall
To a room thats filled with love and sin and cigarettes and alcohol

Then a cat comes walking
Looking for his piece of pie
Oh yeah
Your record sounds great
Mamas too late
That boys got stars in his eyes!

He’s gonna be somebody someday
I don’t care what they say, I’m gonna be somebody some day!

Bridge
Oh yeah! Can you hear it?
I said! Can you hear it? Oh yeah!
Tell me tell me can you hear it?!
Tell me tell me can you hear it?!
Tell me tell me can you?

I guess seeing is believing, I thought that they were leaving,
But they’re back for more
Early in the evening they line up on the street
Outside the stadium doors
The crowd they start screaming
I can hardly think of who I was before

Just had to get getting, getting while the gettings good.
I just had to get getting, getting like a grown man should.

Getdown
You’ve gotta get,
Get while the gettings good! X2

Gotta get down and get that, get while the getting
Gotta get while the gettings good x2

Outro
Tell me, honey, what the hells it gonna be!?
Come on!
You can park your ass at home
Live your life alone
Or take a chance,
Just wait and see.

You’re gonna be somebody someday
I don’t care what they say
You’re gonna be somebody someday.

Somebody
Somebody some
Oh you’re gonna be!
Somebody someday.
You betcha!
