Edward James Macintosh knew he was
Gonna be a star
He had all the right trappings, right clothes
Right dog, right car
He drank single malt whiskey and
He smoked a Havana cigar
Because Edward James Macintosh knew he was gonna be a star.
It wasn't so much the acting that attracted him
It was the glamour and the parties
And the money and of course the fame
And one day they all come a'knocking on his front door
Because Edward James Macintosh
Knew he was gonna be a star.
Well he waited on tables while waiting
For the call to come
He waited on stars who never even knew
His name
But one of these days it would be him eating caviar
Because Edward James knew he was
Gonna be a star.
Well by now you must have guessed something pretty great happened to him because who would write a song about a guy who never lived his dream Yes he swas walking down with his dog Madalaine at his sidewhen he heard the words he'd been waiting all of his life my god said a voice that's it that's a perfect face that's the one we've been searching for all over the placethey made Edward James an offer just the way that he had foreseen and now Madeleine is a star on the silver screen well now the money rolls in because the people just love Madeleine and Edward James basks in the glory and the pink champagne and he smiles to himself as he gets into his cheuffeur-driven car because Edward james Macintosh
Knew he was gonna be a star
