Well I've been trying for so long to be a hit makin' man
But every record that I've made so far wound up in the garbage can
Well I've tried every gimmick you can think of
There's nothing that I haven't done
Ah but look out world, this could be the one

I wish I had a dollar for every record that I've made
The only trouble that I had was tryin' to get them played
Well I've bugged every dee-jay from coast to coast
When they see me coming they run
Ah but look out world, this could be the one

I said, this could, could be the one
There's nothin' I ain't done
Well this could, could be the one

Well my agent sent me a letter today
And he sounded mighty sore
He said if this record ain't a hit
Boy, you ain't gonna cut no more
Well if I don't make the charts
It's gonna break my heart
I'll have to go out and get me a gun
Ah but look out world, this could be the one

Yeah, this could, could be the one
Oh yeah, there's nothin' I ain't done
This could, could be the one

Well my agent sent me a letter today
And he sounded mighty sore
He said if this record ain't a hit
Boy, you ain't gonna cut no more
Well if I don't make the charts
It's gonna break my heart
I'll have to go out and get me a gun
Oh please world, it's gotta be the one

I got my fingers crossed
You know my car payment's due...
