Claim to fame

Lou Reed · Rock And Roll Heart [1976]

Talk-talk, yak-yak

watch you pull that old one track

Get it up and get it back

making it upon your back



No space, no rent

the money's gone, it's all been spent now

tell me 'bout your claim to fame



Now ain't that some claim to fame



Extra, extra, read all about it now

extra, extra, something 'bout a claim to fame

Ooohhh sweet mama, ooohhh sweet mama

something 'bout your claim to fame



Wet lips, dry now

ready for that old hand out, now

ain't that some claim to fame



Spaced out, spaced in

the head's round, the square's flat

ain't that some claim to fame



Now tell me ain't that some claim to fame



Extra, extra, read all about it now

extra, extra, something, something 'bout some claim to fame

Ooohhh-wheee sweet mama, extra, extra, something

something 'bout your claim to fame



Yeah now



I said now, extra, extra

something 'bout your claim to fame

I said now, extra, extra

something 'bout your claim to fame

Ooohhh mama, said now, extra, extra

something 'bout your claim to fame

Extra, extra, something 'bout a

about a, about a, something 'bout your claim to fame

Extra, extra, something 'bout a

'bout a, 'bout a, something 'bout your claim to fame

Ooohhh, ooohhh sweet mama

something 'bout your claim to fame

Oh, ooohhh sweet mama

something 'bout your claim to fame
