lyrics

WELL I JUST TOUCHED DOWN THIS MORNING
I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO STAY
I USED TO HAVE A HOME ROUND HERE
CAN’T BELIEVE HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED
WELL I’VE BEEN WORKING ON A FEATURE
A BIT LIKE INDEPENDENCE DAY
AND I GUESS IT SOUNDS EXCITING
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT THAT WAY

WHAT SHALL I WEAR WHO SHALL I BE TODAY
I’M PLEASED TO MEET YOU
HOPE YOU GUESS MY NAME MY NAME MY NAME

WELL I’VE BEEN TOURING ROUND THE COUNTRY
WITH A THEATRE COMPANY
PLOUGHING ALL THE PROFITS BACK
INTO THE COMMUNITY
AND IF IT MAKES ME SOUND LIKE A GOOD MAN
WELL MAYBE I AM
BUT BEHIND THE MASK BEHIND THE DISGUISE
I’M A TOTAL SHAM

WHAT SHALL I WEAR WHO SHALL I BE TODAY
I’M PLEASED TO MEET YOU
HOPE YOU GUESS MY NAME MY NAME MY NAME

WHAT SHALL I WEAR WHO SHALL I BE TODAY
I’M PLEASED TO MEET YOU
HOPE YOU GUESS MY NAME MY NAME MY NAME

WELL PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
I’M SOMEBODY YOU HAVE TO MEET
I’M THE NAME ON EVERYBODY’S LIPS
I’M THE MAN ON YOUR TV
I’M THIRTY THIRD IN LINE TO THE THRONE
I’M A CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY
I DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHO I AM
BUT I’M WHO I WANT TO BE
I’M WHO I WANT TO BE
I’M WHO I WANT TO BE
