Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinReleased as a UK B-side in March, 1978Take a look at me now and take a taste of the moneyI'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honeyStep on the thin ice lightlyAnd check out the show twice nightly'Cause I'm on the stage tonightAnd if the price is rightI will amaze before the light I crave the lightBlinding white I need the light tonightTake a look at me now and take a look at my billingI'm not in it as an extra, I'm in it for the killingInflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me'Cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my egoMy ego and it's messageOh inform the press, invite the guestsI need the press tonightDo you remember acting out your youthA Romeo resplendent on an orange caseDo you remember how I would reciteAnd how I'd blow my lines and hide my faceWell maybe it was childish, foolish, before schoolishImmaturish, lose your coolishBut I had to grow and prove my egoTake a look at me now and take a taste of the moneyI'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honeyInflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent meOh 'cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my egoMy ego and it's messageOh inform the press, invite the guestsI need the press tonight
