The Who — Success Story

Friday night, I'm on my way home They oughta make work a crime I'm home for the weekend I'm going to make the most of my time There's a rock and roll singer on the television Giving up his music, gonna take up religion Deserted rock and roll To try to save his soul Saturday night, gotta gig with a band Playing the electric guitar Someday I'm going to make it Going to be a super-duper-star Get a big flashy car And a house for my Ma The big break better happen soon Because I'm pushing twenty-one Just like Cinderella When she couldn't go to the ball A voice said, "I'm your fairy manager You shall play the Carnegie Hall" I got to give up my day job To become a heartthrob I may go far if I smash my guitar Away for the weekend I've got to play some one-night stands Six for the tax man, and one for the band Back in the studio to make our latest number one Take two-hundred-and-seventy-six You know, this used to be fun Monday morning, I just got home Six and the birds are singing I need a drink and my clothes are wet Oh, and my ears are still ringing There's a rock and roll singer bopping on the TV He used to be a preacher, but now he sings in a major key Amended his decision to the new religion
