He hit the ground running
At the speed of light
His star is brightly shining
Like a neon light
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
A fixture on the talk shows
To the silver screen
From here to Colorado
He's a sex machine
He's your favorite son
He's your favorite son
But isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
It's pretty but it's sad
But isn't it a drag?
The clean cut all American
Really ain't so clean
His royal auditorium
Is a murder scene
It's your favorite son
It's your favorite son
Oh, isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
It's pretty but it's sad
But isn't it a drag?
Well, no one says it's fair
Turning teenage lush
To a millionaire
Now where's your fucking champion?
On a panty raid
He's not the all American
That you thought you paid
He's your favorite son
He's your favorite son
But isn't it a drag?
