Barbra Streisand

Songwriter: Paul Simon

Producer: Wally Gold

Wish I was a kellogg's corn flake
Floatin' in my bowl takin' movies
Relaxing a while ...livin' in style
Talkin' to a raisin who occasionally plays l.a
Casually glancing at his toupee
Wish I was an english muffin
Bout to make the most out of a toaster
I'd ease myself down
Comin' up brown
I prefer a boysenberry more than any ordinary jam
I'm a citizen for boysenberry jam fans
If I become a famous lady

Would you put my photo on your piano?
From mary jane.....best wishes to martin...
Ooooh south california
Oh roger draft dodger
Leavin by the basement door
Everybody knows what he's tippe-toein'

Down there for
Wish I was a kellogg's corn flake
Floatin' in my bowl
Takin' movies
Relax in a whirl livin' in style...

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
