Lame Claim To Fame

by Al Yankovic


Lyrics:

One time I was in the checkout line
Behind Steven Seagal
Once I'm pretty sure Mr. Jonah Hill
Was in the very next bathroom stall

My best friend's brother
Well, he was an extra in Wayne's World 2
My neighbor's babysitter
Dated three of the guys in Motley Crue

I swear Jack Nicholson
Looked right at me at a Lakers game
I got a lame... lame claim to fame
Owooo-wee! Check it out...

I bought a second-hand toaster
From a guy who says he knows Brad Pitt
I got me an e-mail from the Prince of Nigeria
Well, he sure sounded legit

My sister used to take piano lessons
From the second cousin of Ralph Nader
Last year I threw up in an elevator
Next to Christian Slater

Well guess what? My birthday and Kim Kardashian's
Are exactly the same
I got a lame... lame claim to fame
A really lame... lame claim to fame

Once at a party, my dentist accidentally sneezed on Russell Crowe
I posted "FIRST!" in the comments on a YouTube video
I tried to sit by Steve Buscemi, but he told me, "This seat's taken."
I know a guy who knows a guy
Who knows a guy who knows a guy
Who knows a guy who knows Kevin Bacon
Owooo-wee!

I had a car that used to belong
To Cuba Gooding Jr.'s uncle
Friend of mine in high school
Had jury duty with Art Garfunkel

One time I was staying in the same hotel
As Zooey Deschanel
I used the same napkin dispenser as Steve Carell
At a Taco Bell

Well, I don't mean to brag but Paul Giamatti's
Plumber knows me by name
I got a lame... lame claim to fame
A really lame... lame claim to fame
That's right, I'm talkin' lame... lame claim to fame
A really, really, really lame... lame claim to fame
Owooo! Let's get lame, boys!
