The record man said,
"Don't let it go to your head
I'm gonna make you a star.
If you've got it, use it, but don't abuse it"
Gave me money from an old fruit jar
To exercise my delight, I went out that night
And shook the town the way I knew how
So Mama please don't worry about me
I'm nearly famous now

Six months later, I'm a cool operator
And I know my way around
The record man sighed, he really tried
But he couldn't get it off the ground
But that don't bother me now
'Cause I've got a friend who's gotta friend
Who really knows how
So Mama please don't worry about me
I'm nearly famous now

Still hanging on
Still hanging on

I met this real live walking
Self-styled, self-assured, slow talking bore
I thought I'd play him along, give him a song
To keep the doom dust away from my door
But I didn't do what he wanted me to
But it didn't seem to matter somehow
So Mama please don't worry about me
I'm nearly famous now

I'm still hanging on, uh huh huh
Still hanging on
Hang on

Six months later, I'm a part time waiter
But that didn't last long
I stretched and squeezed
At words I'd never heard to write a song
And when it finally came, it sounded the same
As a tune I'd heard before somehow
But Mama please don't worry about me
I'm nearly famous now

Still hanging on, uh huh huh
Still hanging on

Don't worry about me, Mama
Next week I'm gonna make the Play List
Oh, hanging on
I'm hanging on
Still hanging on
Still hanging on
This song is from the album "1970s", "Live In Birmingham - 1999" and "I'm Nearly Famous".
