Lyrics

Stacy They think I'm no one
I don't have a name.
But I want to live forever
Just like in "Fame"
But not as depressing...
I hear the remake is better.

Two weeks in the business,
Still got no breaks.
The people all say I'll never
Have what it takes
But I can't lose
I've paid my dues...!

Ten-dollar solo...
Worth every dime.
My path is so steep
But, my God, Joss is cheap
And doesn't mind wasting your time.

See the Bad Horse Chorus
Jump into frame.
They tell me I'm not ready
To get in the game
But I'll show them
My A-T-M...!

Ten-Dollar Solo
Not bad so far...
There's internal rhyme
Though not every instance
And the meter is occasionally a little bit bizarre...

They say Hollywood is heartless
And only the strongest survives...
But I like it plenty,
I gave Joss a twenty,
And got back a dream
And two fives

So here comes my--

Neil Ten-Dollar solo, "Solo"mente, baby!
S No, this is my scene
N Not seen your scene
S You're wonderful, Neil, but Joss made me a deal...
N Suck it! I gave him fifteen! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
(Unison) Ten dollar--
S Solo NPH Lame-o!
S Are those the words now?
(Unison) S How could I know? N How could you know?
That Joss pays his debt with this cheezy duet
When you've stooped so low
Then you say, "So long,
Solo..."
