Eddie Murphy
Fake Your Way To The Top
[JIMMY]
Thirteen years of solid gold platters
Rising cost and cocktail chatter
Fat DJs, stereophonic sound
The game of hits goes 'round and around
But you can fake your way to the top
'Round and around

(spoken)
Try that part right there, baby

[LORELL]
'Round and around!

[JIMMY]
Fake your way to the top

[DEENA]
'Round and around!

[JIMMY, spoken]
You fit right in there, didn't you, sweetheart?

[JIMMY]
You can fake your way to the top
[EFFIE]
'Round and around!

[JIMMY, spoken]
Shit, I knew you'd have it!

(sung)
But it's always real, so real

[DREAMETTES]
