MGM Queen Lyrics

Ah!

I begin as a hoofer named Lucille LeSueur
Then Hollywood phoned, 1924
Made flicks as a flapper, some called me a whore
But, I'm on the scene
The future MGM queen!

Changed my name to Crawford, I had ambition!
To be number 1 for box office, admission

Worked hard, married up
Earned beaucoup recognition
Up there on the screen
The reigning MGM queen!

Hit after hit, they put me on the map
So did sitting on ol' Louis B's lap
But, I took my job very seriously and became
Hollywood Royalty!

Clawed my way to the top in nails, jungle red
Had Fairbanks and Gable, and more, all in my bed
I'm the woman on top, the one getting ahead
How lucky for me, the MGM queen!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
