Текст песни: Playing the Part of Me + перевод

It’s the part I was born to play

Critics and fans agree

It’s the role of a lifetime

I’m so lucky that I’m

Playing the part of me

At first I tried to connect

With my character’s point of view

I was too busy to see,

Playing the part of me,

That you were playing the part of you

It’s all right here in the script

Hardly a thing can go wrong

When I just act out what the play’s about

David Mamet was right all along

I’m the luckiest guy in the world

It’s not every day that you’ll find

A playwright’s decision

To fashion his vision

With only one actor in mind

So, tonight I am living the dream

And I’d like to thank the Academy

I’d never thought I’d get

To set this statuette

Where everyone could easily see

That after all these years

To be honored by my peers

For my modest tour-de-force

It’s a total surprise, of course

Once I learned to do it

There was really nothin' to it

I’m a walking work of art

When I’m playing the part … of me!
