I'm the Greatest

Not rated yet.

When I was a little boy
Way back home in Liverpool
My mama told me I was great

Then when I was teenager
I knew that I had got something going
All my friends told me I was great

And now I'm a man
A woman took me by the hand
And you know what she told me I was great

I was the greatest show on earth
For what it was worth
Now I'm only thirty-two
And all I wanna do
Is boogaloo, hey
I looked in the mirror
I saw my wife and kids
And you know what they told me I was great

Yes my name is Billy Shears
You know it has been for so many years
Now I'm only thirty-two
And all I wanna do
I boogaloo, hey hey hey
I'm the greatest
And you better believe it baby
I'm the greatest in this world
In the next worlds and in any worlds

Alright, alright, alright...
