I have eared 5,000 stars: Proclaimers parody song lyrics
01 Oct 2026
Here are the lyrics for my 99-seconds song including the verse I didn’t have time for. Thank you to everyone who clapped along and joined in the chorus.
When I wake up. Well I know I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be the man to check out MoT
When I wake up. Well I know I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be the man to check out MoT
When I go out. Well I know I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be at the Leeds Chapter of MoT
If I get drunk. Well I know I’m gonna have, I’m gonna have all the MoTaverse with me
If I earn stars. Well I know I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be awarding them to you too
Well I have earned 5,000 stars, and I will give 5,000 more
Just to be a man that gives back to the community that I adore
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da da da (Da-da da da)
Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da
When I’m lonely. Well I know I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be a man that’s with the MoTaverse
When I’m dreaming. Well I know I’m gonna dream, I’m gonna dream about ideas to share with you
