Song Description

A rock opera song, in the style of Queen. It's about dreams. The character in the song desperately wants to be a rock 'n' roll star or in her words, "at least gimme some cheese!" The song goes through several sections, including a slower opening section where she begins the framework for the song, the chorus where she puts her dreams out on the table for all to see, a pleading "Listen to my demo" section, and into a faster/more frantic section, part instrumental-only, part vocals, where she exclaims her hatred of swiss cheese. It ends in an uplifting way, with a key change and lyrics that signify that she has achieved her dream.

Lyrics

All my life I've wanted to be famous.
All my life the stage has called my name.
All my life I've worked to achieve my dream.
It's everything.

And now I have the chance to make it real.
This is my chance and I'm hungry!

Make me a rock 'n' roll star,
or at least gimme some cheese.
I could be a rock 'n' roll star.
If only you could see me!
Make me a rock 'n' roll star.
It's all I wanna be.
Stand on stage, under the lights
and everybody loves me!

Listen to my demo.
Eat some mozzerella.
A record deal and some cheese
would go quite well with crackers!

I don't like swiss!
I don't like swiss!
I don't like swiss!
No swiss!

I am a rock 'n' roll star!
And I even have my cheese!
I am a rock 'n' roll star!
And everybody's cheerin' for me!

We are all rock 'n' roll stars--
the band and everybody.
I'm standin' on stage under the lights
and everybody loves me!

All my life.
