Local hero lyrics

Local Hero
(J. Worth/B. Nicholson)


​​Put on my scarf and hat then I go
Down to the bar where they all know
My name and face and my latest hit
And I can mug and I can do my bit
 
I said oh!
 
The girts all look and they point and talk
I catch their drift and I do my walk
I’m cool and calm, and baby they all know
That I’m a local hero
 
I said local hero, rock & roll
My hair is coiffed, shades black as coal
With my guitar and my fancy car
Well, I’m the star of any bar
‘Cause I’m a…
 
I’m so hip to the latest scene
My sense is clean and my eyes are keen
My style is slick and my moves are quick
Well, you know what I mean… c’mon now!
 
Bring it back hard – yeah!
 
So here it is man, I’m right on top
My boys all know the score
One day we’ll be so rich and suave
We’ll open any door
 
‘Cause I’m a…                                    
 
Repeat first verse
 
I said oh!
