The Fame Game Lyrics by Taboo Original Broadway Cast

Taboo Original Broadway Cast Recording

GEORGE
Headlines bouncing off satellites
Everybody knows me
So why am I so lonely?
My face in every single magazine
Sharing my wisdom
With the bloody universe
I'm on top of everything
I'm the king and the queen
The question and the answer
Ask and I'll tell you what I think
Fame is the impending, glittering disaster
ENSEMBLE
Fame is what you wanted
Everything and more
If you don't need the money
Tell us what you do this for?
ANNOUNCER
To celebrate the release of his first album, Boy George's best friend, the one and only, Marilyn!
MARILYN
I wanna be loved by you
Just you nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you alone
Boop boop be do
This sound system sucks. I've never been so insulted! Oh, love.... this!
ENSEMBLE
Fame is what she wanted
Everything and more
FAN #1
Why didn't you answer my letter?
PROMOTER #1
You're being cheated George!
REPORTER #1
Do you think you're sexy?
PROMOTER #2
You're being sued George!
FAN #2
You look different in person!
REPORTER #2
Do you believe in God, George?
REPORTER #3
George, are you taking drugs?
SOME FREAKS
George!
OTHER FREAKS
George!
ENSEMBLE
George!
GEORGE
My records breaking on the radio
I'm on the TV
Now you want to be me
Yesterday I was an embarrassment
But now they can see a bit of you in everyone
Is this happening to me?
Someone even told me I was bigger than the Beatles
I'm rich now everything is free
I've got what I want but it's love that I'm after
ENSEMBLE
Fame is what you wanted
Everything and more
If you don't need the money
Tell us what you do this for
REPORTER #1
George, you told the L.A. Times that you like girls. So, you're not a homosexual?
GEORGE
Well, I have sex at home
REPORTER #2
Are you a bi-sexual?
GEORGE
I rarely buy anything these days
REPORTER #3
Come on George. Tell us the truth. Do you sleep with boys or not?
GEORGE
Actually, I think sex is vastly overrated. I'd much rather a cup of tea
ENSEMBLE
Will he corrupt the youth of America?
Is it a bird? Is it a boy? Is it a plane?
Does your mother know you dress like that?
Are you enjoying fame?
GEORGE
No!
ENSEMBLE
Fame is what you wanted
Everything and more
If you don't need the money
Tell us what you do this for
Tell us what you do this for
Tell us what you do this for
