WAX MUSEUM
Verse 1:
I know I?ve got to leave the earth some day.
When I do I want to be remembered some way.
I want them all to know my name
And love me just the same
The same way they love me today

Chorus:
When I die I wanna live in a wax museum
Where the legends stand so all the world can see ?em
I won?t have no bills to pay
No women getting? in my way
A year?s worth of admiration?everyday

Verse 2:
Well ya know that I?d prefer immortality
But I?d age to be a grey and wrinkled me
If they cast my ass in wax
You can?t deny the facts
I?ll stay young and buff for all eternity.

Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Don?tcha turn up the heat
Don?tcha make a fire
Cause if I get?too?hot
I will expire

Verse 3:
You can put me in the ground or in a tomb
Or in a vase in mama?s living room
With my likeness among the stars
My legend will go far
I?ll look like a stud and won?t even have to groom

Repeat Chorus
(Tag) When I die I want to live in a wax museum.
