Un petit micro, une vieille guitare
Le goût de chanter, pis ben de l'espoir
Joe Wannabe a star
Je foxais mes cours, je chantais dans les bars
Jeune délinquant du monde de l'art
Destination nulle part
Mes profs d'école me disaient souvent
Ta belle musique c'est rien que du vent
Lâche donc tes rêves
Puis fais tes devoirs
Moi je répondais en souriant
Faut désapprendre pour être savant
Un jour l'histoire
Moi je vais la faire
Oh mamma mia, oh mamma mia
Fame passa sta malatia
Oh mamma mia, oh mamma mia
Toglimi sta malinconia
C'est de même que mes rêves ont grandi
Dans ma toute petite Italie
Ma pauvre mère me voyait ministre
Moi je rêvais de chanter comme Elvis
Oh mamma mia
Une grande feuille blanche, un crayon noir
Une peine d'amour, pis ben du fort
Joe Wannabe a star
Chômeur de jour, chômeur de soir
Avec mes rêves je couchais dehors
Vice-président clochard
Le chef de la pègre me disait souvent
Tu viens de la rue, pas d'un couvent
Lâche donc ta plume
Pis braque une banque
Moi je répondais avec respect
Je vous jure qu'il y a des jours ça me tenterait
Sauf que ma rage
Moi je veux qu'elle chante
Quelques ans plus tard, le cœur bien fort
À force de le dire, à force d'y croire
Joe est devenu une star
J'ai de millions, j'ai pas de gros chars
Mais je fais ce que j'aime, pis je trippe encore
Je suis heureux, j'ai pas de remords
Il y a le diable qui vient souvent chez moi
Qui me dit hé Joe! Signe mon contrat
À toi la fame
Les filles, le cash
Chaque fois, je réponds d'un air mauvais
Donner mon âme, non ça jamais
C'est à cause de toi
Qu'Elvis se cache
« Stop me from burning
Hell, Baby I'm turning
Into a rock'n roll star »
