Ballad of Michael Phelps

Look at these medals,
Aren't they neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the guy,
The guy who has everything?

Look at this body,
Abs made of steel,
I show every bit NBC can reveal,
Lookin' at me you would think,
Sure, he's got everything,

I've got medals and models aplenty,
I've got muscles and money galore,
You want magazine covers? I've got twenty,
But who cares? No big deal, I want more,

I wanna live where the famous live,
I wanna see, Wanna see them smiling,
Makin' some waves with my,
What do you call it? oh, fame,
Every 4 years you don't get too far,
Names are forgotten like Spitz and Sanders,
I want the people to always remember my name,
I want to see paparazzi following me in the TMZ,
I made history but where will I be in 2010?

What would I give if fame could live,
Out of these waters?
And If I got paid to spend every day,
Just walking around,
Then you couldn't laugh if I ever have,
To do Sea World tricks with otters,
Just for money, it's not funny,
When I retire,

I'm ready to live like a Hollywood star,
Yeah, I want to be famous just for being famous,
Like Paris and Lindsay and Britney,
What's her name? Spears?
I don't want get sick while I'm doing a trick,
Holding my breath way down underwater,
Like David Blaine as I try to hold on to my fame,
I want to see paparazzi following me in the TMZ,
I made history but where will I be in 2010?
I made history but where will I be in 2010?
