Music and singing by Gabriella Burnel

Words by Bertie

 

 

There’s a dash

And a flash

And a wad of cash

 

There’s a hustle¹ and jostle

and a bit of tustle

 

There’s a trap

and a pap

And a click shutter² snap

 

But oh I

Really crave³ the fame,

And these are the –

rules of the game

 

Snap Me !

Instantly

Snap Me !

Secretly

Snap Me !

Fleetingly⁴

Snap Me !

I’m your property!

 

Now you mention

The attention

Is giving me tension

 

Now I’m famous

There’s no shame as

As I’m one and the same as

 

The celebs

and the debs

and the soap-star plebs

 

But oh I

Really crave the fame,

And these are the –

rules of the game

so

 

Snap Me !

Instantly

Snap Me !

Secretly

Snap Me !

Fleetingly

Snap Me !

I’m your property

 

As You saw

what I wore

was the same as before

 

It’s not fair

That my hair

Is a daily nightmare

 

And my figure

is a trigger

For comments and a snigger

 

But oh I

Really crave the fame,

And these are the –

rules of the game

 

And oh I

Really want the love

And this is the

meaning of it !

 

And oh I

Really want you -oo

And it’s only

Your camera that’s true

 

When you click my pic,

You say my soul’s your goal

And you see right through me

And you see the true me

As only you, my love, can do !

 

Snap Me !

Instantly

Snap Me !

Secretly

Snap Me !

Fleetingly

Snap Me !

I’m your property!

 

Snap Me !

Instantly

Snap Me !

Secretly

Snap Me !

Fleetingly

Snap Me !

I’m your property!
