Eric Carmen
Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)
[Verse 1]
Well, I know it sounds funny
But I'm not in it for the money, no
I don't need no reputation
And I'm in it for the show

[Chorus]
I just want a hit record (hit record, yeah)
Wanna hear it on the radio (hit record, yeah)
Want a big hit record (want a hit record, yeah)
One that everybody's got to know (hit record, yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
Well, if the program director don't pull it
Then it's time to get back the bullet
So bring the group down to the station
We're gonna be an overnight sensation
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
I've been tryin' to write the lyrics
Not offensive but satiric too
If you can get in thе A-side
It's just bound to make a mint for you

[Chorus]
And I want a hit record (hit rеcord, yeah)
Wanna hear it on the radio (hit record, yeah)
Want a big hit record (want a hit record, yeah)
One that everybody's got to own (hit record, yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
Well, if the program director don't pull it
Then it's time to get back the bullet
So bring the group down to the station
We're gonna be an overnight sensation

[Bridge]
Fit the words to a good melody (melody)
Amazing that success has been ignoring me
So long (I'm makin' music so long)
So long (so long, for so long)

Melody
I hear my record play
Hear it play, hear it play
Hit record, yeah
Hit record, yeah

[Outro]
(Want a hit record, yeah) Want a hit record
(Hit record, yeah) Wanna hear it on the radio
(Want a hit record, yeah) Big hit record
(Hit record, yeah) I wanna hear it, wanna hear it on the radio
(Want a hit record, yeah) Want a hit record
(Hit record, yeah) Wanna hear it on the radio
(Want a hit record, yeah) Big hit record
(Hit record, yeah) One that everybody's got to own
(Hit record, yeah) Want a hit record
(Hit record, yeah) On the radio
(I want a hit record, yeah) Big hit record
(Hit record, yeah) On the radio
(I want a hit record, yeah) Big hit record
(Hit record, yeah) On the radio
(I want a hit record, yeah) I want a hit record
(Hit record, yeah) On the radio
(I want a hit record, yeah) Big hit record
(Hit record, yeah) On the radio
(I want a hit record, yeah) Big hit record
