V.I.P. Lyrics

I′m a very important person
I park in the VIP
And when I go to the bathroom
I go in the VIP toilet
And when I wanna change a lightbulb
I don't do it myself
Oh no, I have a technician
′Cause I'm a VIP
I'm a VIP
I′m a VIP
I′m a VIP
Now, as I began to become a VIP
I forgot what I'd become a VIP for
I began to grow accustomed to people saying
"Right this way, sir, drinks are on the house"
Flight attendants on airplanes saying
"Please, really, I don′t wanna bother you, sir
But it's such a pleasure to have you here on board
May I have your autograph for my daughter?"
Yeah, baby, right after I go to the toilet
I′ll give you a couple of 'em
′Cause I'm a VIP
Now one thing about VIPs
Is they never seem to be alone
Oh no, the true VIP must travel with an entourage
People who say: "Right on, boss"
'Cause it′s a VIP
Right on, boss
I′m a VIP
As I began to realize that I had gained VIP status
Worries began to creep in
What if one day I woke up
And I was no longer a VIP?
No more good tables in the restaurants
No more strange women smiling
And approaching me on the streets
No more top-notch booty
No more entourage to say: "Right, boss"
I began to have nightmares
And in my nightmares
I was just a fucking nobody
Laying at the beach
Imagining myself being a VIP
Just like I was before
Hearing the applause in my head
Beautiful, warm embraces of superior members of the female gender
VIP
VIP
Of course, when one becomes a VIP
Inevitably one meets other VIPs
At social occasions
And one inevitably thinks
"How shallow and crass these people are
They're not down-to-earth and real like me
Oh no, I′m a very special VIP"
Another interesting phenomenon
Associated with VIP celebrityhood
Is the VIP reflection effect
During which anyone associated with the VIP
Becomes a sort of VIP in their own right
Such as the son of the VIP
Guitar player for the VIP
Girlfriend with the VIP
Accountants of the VIP
The maid, the dog, the music publisher
All enjoy a sort of reflected glory as in
"Hi, this is Nastia
I work for
And I'd like six tables tonight in the VIP section
And he needs passes for everyone
And free drinks, of course, in the VIP area"
Right on, boss
′Cause I'm a VIP
It′s also true that when one is a VIP
Everybody is happy to see you
All the time
And there is an implicit rule
That a VIP must never, never be on a bummer
Because everybody expects you to make their day
And woe be unto you if you're in a bad mood
They will tsk-tsk-tsk and murmur-murmur-murmur
And you will find yourself with the wrong kind of attention
A difficult VIP
Psychologists tell us that a sense of self-esteem
Is so necessary in today's world
As a VIP, I can guarantee you
You′ll never be alone
You′ll never be alone
'Cause you′re a VIP
