Mason Reese - Alice Donut

How the great have fallen 
See how life has passed them by 
Was anybody looking at the crystal ball 
When his star was on the rise? 

Stuffing his face with 
canned ham sandwich spread. 
He was on the road to stardom 
Stayed a salesman instead. 
What Happened? 

What makes one kid a star 
What makes the other 
just another woman's child? 
I watch the T.V., watch the fat kid grin. 
Watch America go wild. 

But he's not the famous child star anymore. 
He's just a funny-looking guy at the stereo store. 

(chorus) 
The fickleness of fame and fortune's caprice. 
Together changed the life of Mason Reese, 
(Well, come on). 



You can still see Mason in the Underwood ads 
at the back of your mind. 
Or you can see mason at the Crazy Eddie store 
on the Upper West Side. 
Watching Gary Coleman and Emmanuel Lewis 
He knows how much old dwarf child stars mean to us. 

(chorus)
