Fake Your Way to the Top Cleavant Derricks (actor) (Ft. Jennifer Holliday, Loretta Devine & Sheryl Lee Ralph)

[Verse 1: JIMMY]
Thirteen years of solid gold platters
Rising cost and cocktail chatter
Fat deejays, stereophonic sound
Oh, baby
The game of hits goes around and around

[Chorus: JIMMY, LORRELL, DEENA, EFFIE & (DREAMETTES)]
But you can fake your way to the top
'Round and around
Try that part, baby
'Round and around
Fake your way to the top
'Round and around
You fell right in there, sweetheart
You can fake your way to the top
'Round and around
I knew you'd have it!
And it's always real, so real
(Always so real)
Yeah, when you're comin' down

[Interlude: ANNOUNCER]
Ladies and gentlemen, the wildest man in show business, James "Thunder" Early!

[Refrain: JIMMY & DREAMETTES]
Help me, Jesus!
(Help me, Jesus!)
Help me, help me, Jesus!
(Help me, Jesus!)
Help me, help me, Jesus!
(Help me, Jesus!)
Help me, Jesus!
Up, back up, back up
(All the way up)
Yeah yeah yeah back to number one
Back to number one
