A                 G           E        G
I've just come in at number twenty five
A          G          E             G
I'm oh so happy, so glad to be alive
A              G                  E            G
And everybody says it's going to get to the top
A                                     E
Life is so easy when your record's hot.

Go tell my mamma and my sister too
To press my trousers and polish my shoes
I might even end up a rock-and-roll god
It might turn into a steady job
My agent said to me: "Son, I always told you so"

Chorus:
D                          C
And my agent said to me: "Son, I always
 Gsus4        Csus2
told you so."

A                G     E                G
Now my record's number eleven on the BBC
A           G           E     G
But number seven on the N.M.E.
A               G     E                  E
Now the Melody Maker want to interview me
E                                            D
And ask about my politics and theories on pollution

Now my record's up to number 3
And a woman recognized me and started to scream
This all seems like a crazy dream
I've been invited to a dinner
with a prominent queen
And now I've got friends that
I thought I never had before

It's strange how people want you
when your record's high
'Cos when it drops down they just pass you by
Now my agent just called me on
the telephone and said:
"Son your record's just got to Number One
And do you know what this means?
This means you can earn some real money"
