lyrics

To be the best in breed
You must succeed
In every move you make tonight
Powder your nose
Tailor your clothes
To see your name put up in lights

Surprise is in your eyes
And in your thighs
There was no cellulite in sight
Oh so well groomed
With your perfume
You were the sweetest rose

You are Miss World tonight
No more a girl tonight
You are Miss World tonight

No shame,
The quest for fame
Is that your aim?
Or is it greed that makes you tick?
Faberge legs
The question begs
Is there not more to life?

Is there not more to life?
Or is it worth the strife?
Is there not more to life?

Miss World today, Miss nobody the next
The price you pay is written on blank checks
We're holding hands, but no more than hands
Protective hands, for a thousand fans
Proclaim this girl as poker-piping hot
Pipe down, you're not, they've already forgot
Your name, your fame, so quickly on the wane
From A to Z list celebrity

Twelve months, they came and went
And those were spent
Almost reclusively
To whom, it may concern
Our lady yearned
To be a girl again

No more miss world tonight
You're just a girl tonight
No more Miss World tonight
