I want my name up in lights
My star right next to Michael
The greatest stars watch down me
For I am their disciple
I want a seat at the table
Give me one chance and you’ll see
I ready and willing and able
To show you how great I can be

Give me a seat at the table
One chance to prove what I’ve got
You never will know
How far I can go
If you don’t ever give me a shot

I could be the next Betty Grable
Or even the clone of Clark Gable
I’m not askin’ a lot
Just one tiny shot
I’ll show you the birth of a fable

There’s a million and one great performers
They don’t hold a candle to me
So kick out the jams
Let me be who I am
And everything I’m gonna be

Give me a seat at the table
One chance to prove what I’ve got
You never will know
How far I can go
If you don’t ever give me a shot

I’m headed straight to the big time
No detours or roadblocks for me
I’ve got the chops
Goin’ right to the top
And everyone’s going to see

I’m gonna play with the big boys
Destined for fortune and fame
That star on the walk
Will be only small talk
You’re gonna remember my name

Give me a seat at the table
One chance to prove what I’ve got
You never will know
How far I can go
If you don’t ever give me a shot
