From Here On It Got Rough lyrics

[Verse 1]
I came to the world on a cold winter's day
Sneezed three times, it must have been hay
My father was livid, he wanted a son
I took a look around and said to the nun

[Refrain]
"From here on, it gets rough"

[Verse 2]
At first, I found I had little to do
They allowed me to grow a room with a view
But after a while, they hit on a plan
It's time to start learning, the trouble began

[Refrain]
From here on, it got rough

[Verse 3]
At fifteen, I had a dream, which I found very clever
I wanted to act, mama said, "No, never"
My father said, "Out", I was already gone
And followed the call, the show must go on

[Refrain]
From here on, it got rough
[Verse 4]
My talents were spotted, producers were proud
And gave me those parts where you stand in the crowd
When the star became ill, I stepped in like a shot
And someone from film signed me up on the spot

[Refrain]
From here on, it got rough

[Verse 5]
I played all the good parts and sometimes the bad
And sometimes a fig leaf was all that I had
And then Hollywood said it would certainly die
If I didn't come soon, so I went, "Aye-yi-yi"

[Refrain]
From here on, it got rough

[Verse 6]
But now I was famous, I'd made it at last
And happily back to the scene of my past
I received a big prize, had my name in who's who
But after a flop, that name was taboo

[Refrain]
From here on, it got rough
[Verse 7]
At first, I was hurt, I thought it was wrong
Then somebody heard me singing a song
I told him I couldn't, but he said, "Yes, you can"
So that's how this latest torment began
A change was overdue

[Refrain]
From here, it's rough on you
