Paul Williams, Kenny Ascher



It starts when we're kids

A show-off in school

Makin' faces at friends

You're a clown and a fool

Doin' prat-falls and bird-calls

and bad imitations

Ignoring your homework

Is that dedication?

You work through the mirror

You're getting standing ovations

You're burning with hope

You're building up steam.

What was once juvenilish

Is grown-up and stylish

You're close to your dream

Then somebody out there loves you

Stands up and hollers for more
