Them Or Me Poem by Mary Champion

It's them or me, darling, cos I've had enough.
I'm sick of my bit part and acting so tough.
If you won't allow me to play the star lead
Then I'll find another who's got what I need.

I'm cut out for stardom and I will not share
Your lime-light with others, so baby, don't dare!
I'll be your leading lady, or you won't appear.
So hands off those stand-ins, or I won't be here.
You might be a star babe, as big as they come
But I write your lines Hon, without me you're dumb.
So cherchez la femme babe and it better be moi!
I won't be a guest star, in a ménage a trios.

Cos it ain't only three, babe.
No; it's every damn dame.
It's them or me darling,
I‘m sick of this game.
If you won't allow me
To play the star lead
I'll find someone else, Hon,
Who's got what I need.

I'm cut out for stardom,
I'm no also-ran.
I'll be your leading lady,
Or you won't be a man.
