Hey now, you’re an all star  
Get your game on, go play  
Hey now, you’re a rock star  
Get the show on, get paid  
And all that glitters is gold  
Only shooting stars break the mold

Now I don’t need no superstar  
'Cause I’ll accept you as you are  
You won’t be denied 'cause I’m satisfied  
With the love you inspire  
You don’t have to be a star, baby, to be in my show  
You don’t have to be a star, baby, to be in my show

A superstar? Well, right you are

Like the moon and the stars and the sun  
Well, we all shine on  
Every one, come on

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun  
Shine on you crazy diamond.  
Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky  
Shine on you crazy diamond.

It’s stopped raining, everybody’s in the play  
And don’t you know it’s a beautiful new day?  
Hey, hey, hey

Hey hey, my my  
Rock and roll can never die  
There’s more to the picture  
Than meets the eye.  
Hey hey, my my.

Out of the blue and into the black  
You pay for this, but they give you that  
And once you’re gone, you can’t come back  
When you’re out of the blue and into the black.

```
Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At ‘em now, Give 'em the gun! give em the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

And it’s one, two, three,

Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,

Open up the pearly gates,  
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,  
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.

But lay off of my blue suede shoes

One sweet dream  
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine  
Soon we’ll be away from here  
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away  
One sweet dream came true today  
Came true today  
Came true today (yes, it did)

And I know that if you love me too  
What a wonderful world this would be
