[Intro]
"Hello!
Darling! Mmm...
How dare you! Do you know who I am?
You look fabulous! Mwah!"
[Verse 1]
I know what you think
It's clear as mud in your eyes
We're the plastic poseurs and prostitutes
You've obviously come to despise
[Pre-Chorus]
But you don't know nothing
You're not hot enough to matter
You don't understand the glamorous life
A dream that no one can shatter
[Chorus]
We're shameless, we will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity we'll do anything at all
[Verse 2]
I'm ambitious
Believe me, I'm going to be big
I'm a slave to glamour, applause and clamour
My makeup, my wardrobe, my wigs
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't call me pathetic
I'm hotter than you'll ever guess
I'm relentlessly tough, for when the going gets rough
The tough get their picture in the press
[Chorus]
We're shameless, we will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity we'll do anything at all
[Bridge]
Anything, anything, anything at all
We'll do anything, anything, anything at all
We'll do anything, anything, anything at all
We'll do anything, anything, anything at all
[Interlude]
"How dare you!
Do you know who I am?
It's an absolute disgrace!"
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me you love me
Admit it, you're really impressed
Would it not amuse you for me to seduce you?
Have you ever seen me undressed?
[Chorus]
We're shameless, we will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
(Give me fifteen minutes)
We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity we'll do anything at all
We're shameless, we will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
(Give me fifteen minutes)
We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity, we'll do anything with anyone
Go absolutely anywhere, for anything at all
[Outro]
"I'm terribly sorry!"
"Hello!
Darling! Mmm...
How dare you! Do you know who I am?
You look fabulous! Mwah!"
[Verse 1]
I know what you think
It's clear as mud in your eyes
We're the plastic poseurs and prostitutes
You've obviously come to despise
[Pre-Chorus]
But you don't know nothing
You're not hot enough to matter
You don't understand the glamorous life
A dream that no one can shatter
[Chorus]
We're shameless, we will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity we'll do anything at all
[Verse 2]
I'm ambitious
Believe me, I'm going to be big
I'm a slave to glamour, applause and clamour
My makeup, my wardrobe, my wigs

I'm relentlessly tough, for when the going gets rough
The tough get their picture in the press
[Chorus]
We're shameless, we will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity, we're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity we'll do anything at all
[Bridge]
Anything, anything, anything at all
We'll do anything, anything, anything at all
We'll do anything, anything, anything at all
We'll do anything, anything, anything at all
