People ask me questions 'bout the way I've spent my life
Thirty years in showbiz, only had one wife
Limousines and swimmin' pools, I didn't get my share
But I'm not downhearted
I am not downhearted
I'm not downhearted, but I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there

Did you ever get the feeling you've been taken for a ride?
The big ones eat the little ones and there's no place left to hide
Just don't drink the water
Try not to breathe the air
But I'm not discouraged
I am not discouraged
I'm not discouraged, but I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there

No matter how I'm feeling, I still propose a toast
If you're almost successful, you're better off than most
If I was selling phantasy
I'd be a millionaire
But I'm not disillusioned
I am not disillusioned
I'm not disillusioned, but I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there
