Well, I may not have a dime to bank
I only got myself to thank
But still I never hock it for some money in my pocket
No, I'd sooner sell my new fish tank
'Cause someday I'm gonna be a star
So don't touch my guitar

Well, every morning before I go up to school
I practice for an hour as a rule
My hands are getting stiff from playing scales and runs and riffs
Guess I'm nothing but a guitar playing fool
But someday I'm gonna be a star
So don't touch my guitar

Now listen

You're gonna see me
On TV
You're gonna see me everywhere
Everyone will stop and stare
Yeah, yeah

Well, every night I hang it over my bed
I hang it right there over my head
But mama, when you dust it
Please be careful not to bust it
Mama, mama, did you hear what I said
Cause someday I'm gonna be a star
So don't touch my guitar
Cause someday I'm bound to be a star
So don't touch my guitar
Aw, fingers work it out
