Lyrics
My name is Johnny Bear and I 'm a rock star.
I 've got a leather jacket, a Ferrari car.
I 've got bear curls, I like bear girls.
I 'm a turnaround, turnaround rock star! Hey!
My name is Tess Tiger and I 'm a movie star.
I 've got a cute, cute smile and a mighty guitar.
I 've got lips, I 'll blow you a kiss.
I 'm a turnaround, turnaround movie star!
