They all go to London
Just to play the game
They try to be different
Cuz they just can’t be the same
They change their hair their sex
Their makeup and their name
They give the people what they want
So no one is to blame
They just want 15 minutes
15 minutes of fame
Can’t play much music
But they make a lotta noise
They hang in the right places
Trying to be one of the boys
Spend all their money on their habits and their toys
Creative spending of record advances
That’s how they get their joys
If you go to London
You’re sure to see the sight
A half a million people
Trying to make it overnight
They want their 15 minutes
They want their 15 minutes
And they’ll get their 15 minutes
15 minutes of fame
Just being outrageous seems to be teir game
Make headlines in the music press again and again
London is the launching pad for their name
And pretty soon they’re number one in the U S of A
They got their 15 minutes
They got their 15 minutes
They got their 15 minutes of fame
15 minutes of fame
15 minutes of fame
