Garbo, Jennifer, and Hedy

"Garbo, Jennifer, and Hedy"

by Ren Takahara

They call me Garbo, Jennifer, and Hedy

For the spotlight, yeah I am ready

Ro-ro-ro-ro-rock steady, rock steady

Better move over, 'cause I am ready

Walking down the street alone

My mystery's my own

I'm making history, you know

Oh-oh-oh

They call me Garbo

'Cause I am exotic, honestly iconic, ha

G.G. yeah she was just like me!

And in my fur coat and my heels

You know I'm for real

They call me Garbo, Jennifer, and Hedy

Sometimes even Bettie!

Pinup queen on the scene

Beautiful black hair!

Got an attitude like I don't care

Got my own kind of flair

Go ahead and let them stare

Where was I?

They call me Jennifer

'Cause I am just like her

I've got kitten eyes

So it's no surprise

I'm a little bit shy

But I can get any guy

And everyone, they stop to look twice

They call me Garbo, Jennifer, and Hedy

Sometimes even Ava!

'Cause I'm not your slave, huh

Girl of the decade

Can I get you lemonade?

You look kind of thirsty

And another thing

They call me Hedy

Hedy Lamarr

Born to be a superstar

I got beauty and brains

I'm a heavenly body

And it drives them insane

Let me host another party

Oh, they call me

On the telephone

Everywhere I go

Every single day

So here's what I've got to say:

Girls, boys, and more

You have got to get your way!

Call me Nazimova

'Cause I'm like a model

Call me Greer

'Cause I have no fear

Call me Myrna Loy

'Cause I kill them boys!

And call me Tallullah

Sing my alleluias 

I've got nothing to prove ya

No one to impress

So take care and God bless

Call me Mae West

'Cause I can win the test

Call me Grace

'Cause I've got good taste

Call me Elizabeth Taylor

'Cause I'm not a failure

Call me Anna May Wong

'Cause I do no wrong

Let your song go on and on
