We open on a scene
A sandcastle pail and the smell of bleach
You can see the waves
Breaking up and down the street of dreams
Dangling their feet
Come and carry me away
Pretty please
You can hear them say
This could be my big big break
All aboard my scheme
I can be the bank and you can be the queen
Let's create a craze
Buy up all the haze and call it the new breeze
Sell it to the base
With an aging celebrity face
Add a little sleaze
The Black Friday pileup will make great TV
Moguls and vultures are all that's left to be
Pick the bones and clamor for the cream
Comb the beaches roam the land
And hope that some poncey Dauphin
Will ask you for his hand to keep
His business end clean
Oh, what a dream
Moguls and vultures are all that's left to be
Pick the bones and clamor for the cream
Come to Jesus on your knees
And pray that some showy Dauphine
Will ask you for your hand to keep
Her business end bleached
Oh, what a dream
