[Lyric] Norma Jeane (Daisy O'Connor)

[Verse 1]
Norma Jean kept the boarding house clean
Orphan girl gotta earn her keep
She washed 100 dishes every night
'Til the bad man got her in the backroom
Mmmm…..mmmm…. the men they want her

[Verse 2]
Norma Jean married at sixteen
Started making air planes in army greens
But she had a dream, an American dream
To be the brightest star the world had ever seen

[Verse 3]
Magazine man came to take pictures of the plane
And he left with the facе of little Norma Jean
You shoulda seen her boys

[Chorus]
You arе always as good as your potential
You are always as good as your potential
[Verse 4]
Norma Jean put on her pretty face
And her smile that shined into outer space
She changed her name and her nose
And her hair, so it goes
And the tone of her voice from corn to rose
She gave them what they wanted

[Chorus]
You are always as good as your potential
You are always as good as your potential
Oooh-ooh, oooh-ooh

[Verse 5]
Norma Jean had a fever dream
To be the first lady of the silver screen
To be the wife in the white house
Loved by the man she loved
But he just loved the taste and the chase
And taking off her lace
And the shape of her waist when she fell from grace
She fell

[Outro]
In a picture we'll keep her
The Virgin Mary
Elvis Presley
And Norma Jean
