Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Fame Lyrics
[Intro]
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
[Verse 1]
Arms trade
I deal and drink in spades
But heaven's got a gate full of metal detectors
Contra affair
Don't you want to get through?
What am I to tell the inspector?
Board an airplane
I was hell raised
Never my fault when I make a mistake
Nurse me like a drink
Everybody sing
I lose control
[Chorus]
I'm Miss America, I miss the UK
I want to be used and left empty
I dream of a world where it only rains champagne
I'm Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Fame
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
[Verse 1]
Arms trade
I deal and drink in spades
But heaven's got a gate full of metal detectors
Contra affair
Don't you want to get through?
What am I to tell the inspector?
Board an airplane
I was hell raised
Never my fault when I make a mistake
Nurse me like a drink
Everybody sing
I lose control
[Chorus]
I'm Miss America, I miss the UK
I want to be used and left empty
I dream of a world where it only rains champagne
I'm Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Fame
[Post-Chorus]
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
[Verse 2]
To my face
Terror bought this plague
The witness got a story, no corroborating
They are
In big black cars
Kiss me like a victim, I'll collaborate it
Now I'm get laid
Plus a BJ
Ala John Wayne, gonna sleep all day
Nurse me like a drink
Everybody sing
I'm so inviting
[Chorus]
I'm Miss America, I miss the UK
I want to be used and left empty
I dream of a world where it only rains champagne
I'm Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Fame
[Post-Chorus]
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
[Verse 2]
To my face
Terror bought this plague
The witness got a story, no corroborating
They are
In big black cars
Kiss me like a victim, I'll collaborate it
Now I'm get laid
Plus a BJ
Ala John Wayne, gonna sleep all day
Nurse me like a drink
Everybody sing
I'm so inviting
[Chorus]
I'm Miss America, I miss the UK
I want to be used and left empty
I dream of a world where it only rains champagne
I'm Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Fame
[Post-Chorus]
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
[Bridge]
Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah
[Chorus]
I'm Miss America, I miss the UK
I want to be used and left empty
I dream of a world where it only rains champagne
I'm Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Fame
[Outro]
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah
[Chorus]
I'm Miss America, I miss the UK
I want to be used and left empty
I dream of a world where it only rains champagne
I'm Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Fame
[Outro]
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
Ow, ow, ow, yippie, ow, ow, ay
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Fame” is a single by the defunct electronic band Black Cards. Pete Wentz’s lyricism, renowned for its wit and introspection in Fall Out Boy, continues to shine through in this song but takes a more electronic and dance-focused soundscape. The song delves into the duality of fame and the personal conflicts it can create, reminiscent of the transformation of Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde in the classic Robert Louis Stevenson story.
