verse 1
Faded drapes, a crooked shade, a matted rug on the floor
A dirty tray, filled with cigarettes and a rusty lock on the door.
There she lives, just below the stair
In a room that's marked number three.
Bet her mind lives apart in an old memory...

chorus
And the crowd rushes to the rope.
Hey, I got here first, let me have a peek!
See the ring? See the sable coat?
What I earn a year, she can make a week.
And that man, he's her gigolo even though he chauffeurs her car.
Well, so what? After all, she's a star!
And she lives high up on a hill
With a swimming pool and an iron gate.
Once a prince traveled round the world
Just to pay a call and she made him wait.
Every day, in a tub of ice, they deliver fresh caviar.
Well, why not? After all, she's a star!

verse 2
Broken chair, an empty vase, a dying fern on the sill.
Beside the bed, faded photographs of a smiling girl on a hill.
Just a room, known as number three
Where the summer breeze doesn't blow.
And her mind lives apart in a long, long ago...

chorus
And the crowd rushes in the rope.
Hey, I got here first, let me have a peek!
See the ring? See the sable coat?
What I earn a year, she can earn a week.
And that man, he's her gigolo even though he chauffeurs her car.
Well, so what? After all, she's a star!
And she lives high up on a hill
With a swimming pool and an iron gate.
Once a prince traveled round the world
Just to pay a call and she made him wait.
Every day, in a tub of ice, they deliver fresh caviar
Well, so what? After all, she's a star!
When she's there, way up on the screen
Isn't she a joy? Isn't she a prize?
With her smile, silent and serene
And that little light shining in her eyes
And that smile, and that little light
Will forever stay as they are
She'll endure, that's for sure, she's a star!
