New York City Ballet

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It's a hot hot night in the city,

And I'm singing for the fight of my life;

And I got no cash,

But I just don't care,

I just wanna be famous tonight

And I swear oh lord she's so pretty,

And one day she's gonna be all mine;

So I'll touch the sky,

Till the day I die,

Swear you're gonna see my name in lights (oh)

Cause we live for the fame,

For the fame,

For the fame;

Yeah we live for the fame,

For the fame,

And we sing yeah!

I can't do this without you,

Do this without you,

New york;

I can't do this without you,

Do this without you,

New york

And I got no job and no money,

And I'm four weeks late on rent;

But I sold my soul,

To rock and roll,

With a heart full of dreams in my hands

And he said oh son it's a hard world,

And only the toughest survive;

But I show him up,

And if I go down,

At least I'm going down in style (oh)

Cause we live for the fame,

For the fame,

For the fame;

Yeah we live for the fame,

For the fame,

And we sing yeah!

I can't do this without you,

Do this without you,

New york;

I can't do this without you,

Do this without you oh,

Cause we live for the fame,

For the fame,

For the fame;

Yeah we live for the fame,

For the fame,

And we sing yeah!

I can't do this without you,

Do this without you

Out you, out you;

Do this without you,

New york

It's a hot hot night in the city

Yeah!

I can't do this without you,

Do this without you,

New york;

I can't do this without you,

Do this without you oh,

Cause we live for the fame,

For the fame,

For the fame;

Yeah we live for the fame,

For the fame,

And we sing yeah!

I can't do this without you,

Do this without you,

New york

I can't do this without you,

Do this without you,

New york;

I can't do this without you,

Do this without you,

New york
