Lucky Doug Fergus - Wannabe Lyrics

I'd like to be a has been a formerly a once was
Telling my grandchildren about my glory days
But first I need to make it do something to make me famous
In twenty years will you remember my name?

I don't wanna be a wanna be
I don't wanna be a wanna be
I don't wanna be a wanna be anymore

Saw a former soap star down at Barnes & Noble
Promoting his autobiography
A big star in the eighties was loved by all the ladies
He couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag

I don't wanna be a wanna be
I don't wanna be a wanna be
I don't wanna be a wanna be anymore

Saw a former rock star at the supermarket
They would not sell him Purina Rock Star Chow
Although I recognized him I watched the checker deny him
I never did like his music I should've been that star

I don't wanna be a wanna be
I don't wanna be a wanna be
I don't wanna be a wanna be anymore
