(Verses 2 & 3 use the same chords)

I'm sitting on a jet plane
I'll see my baby soon enough
I won't take her to a movie
I'm worried that the lines become all blurred
I couldn't help but feel insulted
When the boss told us to act that way
I'm ashamed of my profession
I would do the same again

I'll make another movie
Same one as the year before
I'm looking for a story
Something ludicrous to come up from the street
I won't play another heavyweight
I won't play another big John Shaft
Put me in a frock and leave me to recite
Maybe my career will die
