There`s questions we`re always hearing every where we go Like how do I cut a record or get on a country show Well, it takes more than just ambition and three chords on an old guitar There`s a few more thing you ought to learn to be a country star.
You have to learn to sing like Waylon or pick like Jerry Reed Yodel like Jeannie Shepard write songs like Tom T Put a cry in your voice like Haggard learn Spanish like Johnny R Whisper like Bill Anderson and you`ll be a country star.
Play piano like Ronnie Milsap or Gilley or Jerry Lee Yo-yo like Roy Acuff or talk plain like Ralph Emery Growl like Conway Twitty get a red white and blue guitar Build a swimming pool like Webb did and you`ll be a country star.
Be tall like Sonny James or tell jokes like Minnie Pearl Be short like Jimmy Dickens or play five-string like Earl Get a hip band like Willie learn to stutter like M-Mel Get a cap like Roy Clark wore or a voice like Barbara Mandrell.
Be rich like Eddy Arnold say you`re making more than you are Get a gimmick like Charley Pride got and you`ll be a country star.
But if you have no talent and you`re not a male If you`re built somewhat like Dolly or have a face like Crystal Gayle Come back stage and ask for Harold, Phil, Don or Lou And we`ll see you auditioned for the Statler Brothers Review...
