Overnight Sensation (Hit Record) lyrics - Eric Carmen

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 not in it for the show

I just want a hit record, yeah

Wanna hear it on the radio

Want a big hit record, yeah

One that everybody's got to know

Well if the program director don't pull it

It's time to get back the bullet

So bring the group down to the station

You're gonna be an overnight sensation

I've been tryin' to write the lyric

Non-offensive but satiric too

And if you put it in the A-slot

It's just got to make a mint for you

I fit those words to a good melody

Amazing how success has been ignoring me

So long

I use my bread making demos all day

Writing in the night while in my head I hear

The record play

Hear it play

Hit record, yeah

Wanna hit record, yeah

Wanna hit record, yeah (number one)
