lyrics

Headlining this Sunday
At the Independent
It's a new sensation
And his name is Kenneth

He's only 22
And a rising talent
So mature for his age
And his name is Kenneth

Born in New York to minor celebrities
Pulls from his hard knock past to get on stage and sing

"Clap your hands. Come on now. Let's take a stand.
Clap your hands. Come on everybody dance."

He's a star. He's a stud.
All the girls (it's Kenneth)
Are in love with Kenneth, Kenneth Williams

His album's out now
3 and a half stars
Listen on Spotify
Search online for Kenneth

He wants to thank the fans
He'd be nothing without them
They say he's so attractive
And his name is Kenneth

Signed to a major label and now just goes by Ken
Disavows all the old songs but forced to play his one true hit

"Clap your hands. Come on now. Let's take a stand.
Clap your hands. Come on everybody dance."

He has sex. He does coke.
Often posts. Others jokes.
Goes on tour. Breaks even.
Yells alot. (it's Kenneth)
He is Kenneth Williams.

And he sailed across the ocean
Now he's playing overseas
Trying to start a big commotion
For his new remix ep

He can't control his alcohol
Lost all inspiration
Got a girl pregnant
And her name is Karen

His side business failed
Moved into a motel
Grows increasingly erratic
And his name is Kenneth

Dropped from the major label and falls into despair
Come and see Ken this weekend at the San Joaquin County Fair
(Singing)
"Clap your hands. Come on now. Let's take a stand.
Clap your hands. Come on everybody dance."

He's washed up. He's ignored.
Gets let press than before.
Goes back home. Buys a gun.
Shoots himself. (it's Kenneth)
That was Kenneth, Kenneth Williams.
