The sun rises after midnight

big dreamers never sleep

she takes a slow walk in the red light

wishin' on the stars in concrete

jet black roots under alabaster hair

betty grable legs gonna get her somewhere

she's runnin' every light on the road to recognition

under one condition



In the name of money

in the name of fame

anything goes

when you play that game

in the name of money

in the name of fame

you gotta stick it out

if you want to claim your fame



So some hotshot in a rag top

gets her on the silver screen

a hundred mirrors far a backdrop

but her face was never seen

agents of love, devils in disguise

they're blowin' smoke in the little girl's eyes

yeah, she'll sign the dotted line and fall into submission

under on condition



In the name of money

in the name of fame

anything goes

when you play that game

in the name of money

in the name of fame

you gotta stick it out

if you want to claim your fame



Someday she'll be a leading lady

in a baby blue mercede'

when she's rich and famous

her scandals will entertain us

the badder the better



Jet black roots under alabaster hair

betty grable legs gonna get her somewhere

she's runnin' every light on the road to recognition

under one condition



In the name of money

in the name of fame

anything goes

when you play that game

in the name of money

in the name of fame

you gotta stick it out

if you want to claim your fame
