15 Minutes In The Sun

Frankie was ambitious and lean

Then one day he turned a page in a magazine

And saw his own name written in big letters, big letters

Frankie thought everything was gonna change

He started thinking his hill was a mountain range

It was his 15 minutes, his 15 minutes in the sun

Everybody knows everybody goes big time sometime

Everybody gets 15 minutes in the sunshine

Frankie had a very short love affair

Just to make the fashion pages everywhere

So he could have something to show his children, and their children

Frankie gets to headline for tonight

But from then on he rents his own spotlight

He only gets 15 minutes, just 15 minutes in the sun

Everybody knows everybody goes big time sometime

Everybody gets 15 minutes in the sunshine

Everybody knows everybody goes big time sometime

Everybody gets 15 minutes and then bye-bye

All this stuff goes back tomorrow, make room for Mr. Next-In-Line

Now you know how Cinderella felt when it came pumpkin time

Just remember when your time comes around

Just remember that you're just a middle kid, and it's a hand-me-down

When it's your 15 minutes, it's your 15 minutes in the sun

Everybody knows everybody goes big time sometime

Everybody gets 15 minutes in the sunshine

Everybody knows everybody goes big time sometime

Everybody gets 15 minutes and then bye-bye

Just remember when your time comes around

Just remember that you're just a middle kid
