"Act Naturally" lyrics

"Act Naturally"
(duet with Ringo Starr)

They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make the film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally

Well, I'll bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well

Well, I hope you come see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally

We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And begging down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally

Well, I'll bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well

Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
And then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally

We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
All I have to do is act naturally
Two, three, four
All we have to do is act naturally
