Oh, I'm a three week hero I started off with zero And I sold a million records on my own Three short weeks ago I was the lowest of the low I knew nothing, now there's nothing I don't know
I am making all the scenes for the teenage magazines I had my picture taken with the mayor I've got a long - haired lanky girl And I'm going to save the world But first I think I'd better wash my hair
Oh, I'm a three week hero I started off with zero And I sold a million records on my own Three short weeks ago I was the lowest of the low I knew nothing, now there's nothing I don't know
I'm on all the TV shows wearing all my far - out clothes But I'm the same old me, I'll never change That guy in the autograph line used to be a friend of mine Ah, this must be a thrill for what's - his - name
Oh, I'm a three week hero I started off with zero And I sold a million records on my own Three short weeks ago I was the lowest of the low I knew nothing, now there's nothing I don't know
Oh, I'm no longer mobbed cos my last two records bombed And I've squandered all the money that I had The guy who parked my car is a big recording star And all my friends are living at his pad,
Now he's a three week hero I started off with zero And I sold a million records on my own Three short weeks ago I was the lowest of the low I knew nothing, now there's nothing I don't know
