And the Oscar goes to…
Oh you might not have a lot of money,
and you might not have a fancy car,
but I’m telling you the truth, my honey,
you got what it takes to be a star.
Cos you look me in the eyes so coolly
and you swear by God you love me true,
and yet all the time you’re only fooling,
and that’s why the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
All the time that you and I were lying
in the shelter of our single bed,
Didn’t know our love had started dying,
and that all too soon it would be dead.
Didn’t know that you would send me packing
like you’d sent the others packing too.
But we both know you’re so good at acting,
and that’s why the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar for best actress in a motion picture goes to…
You!
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
Now I’ve heard you’ve found another lover,
and you treat him like a piece of dirt.
Yes, your sense of fun is quite another –
only happy when somebody’s hurt.
And you haven’t got a single scruple,
but it isn’t as if people knew –
even now they can be heard to juble
on the night the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
And the Oscar goes to you.
